- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper

👨🍳 步骤
- 1
Rinse the taro leaves thoroughly and remove any tough stems. If using spinach, skip to the next step. Bring a large pot of water to a boil and blanch the taro leaves for 5-7 minutes to reduce bitterness. Drain and set aside.

Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or pot over medium heat.
- 3
Add the chopped onion to the skillet and sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened.
- 4
Stir in the minced garlic and grated ginger, cooking for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

Season the chicken thighs with salt and black pepper, then place them skin-side down in the skillet. Sear for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown.
- 6
Add the blanched taro leaves (or spinach) to the skillet, arranging them around the chicken.
- 7
Pour the coconut milk and water over the chicken and greens. Stir gently to combine.
- 8
Bring the mixture to a simmer, then reduce the heat to low and cover the skillet. Cook for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is tender and cooked through.

Taste and adjust seasoning as needed before serving.

Serve hot with steamed rice or taro root on the side.
