👨🍳 步骤
- 1
Wash the taro leaves thoroughly and remove the tough stems. If the leaves are very large, you can cut them in half.
💡 专业技巧: Ensure leaves are clean and free of any dirt. - 2
In a mixing bowl, combine the coconut milk, chopped onion, minced garlic, salt, and pepper. If using corned beef or tuna, add it to this mixture and stir well.
💡 专业技巧: Adjust salt and pepper to your preference. - 3
Lay out 2-3 taro leaves on a flat surface, overlapping them slightly. Spoon a portion of the coconut milk mixture onto the center of the leaves.
💡 专业技巧: Using multiple layers of leaves helps to keep the filling contained. - 4
Fold the edges of the taro leaves inward to create a neat parcel, enclosing the filling. Repeat this process until all the mixture and leaves are used.

Place the parcels in a baking dish or a steamer. If baking, preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and cover the dish with foil. Bake for 45-60 minutes, or until the leaves are tender.
💡 专业技巧: If steaming, steam for approximately the same duration. - 6
Remove from the oven or steamer, let cool slightly, and serve hot.
