Equipment

  • Cooking Pan (Kawali)

Ingredients

  • 100 g (3.5 oz) dried gabi (taro leaves)
  • ¼ kg (8.8 oz) pork belly or pork shoulder, thinly sliced
  • ¼ cup shrimp, peeled and thinly sliced (or whole if you prefer)
  • 6 cups coconut milk (gata)
  • 2 cups coconut cream (kakang gata)
  • 1/2 cup shrimp paste (bagoong)
  • 3 to 4 pieces red (labuyo) chilis, sliced
  • 2 to 3 pieces green (finger chilis)
  • 1 piece onion, sliced
  • 1/2 cup ginger, sliced
  • 8 cloves garlic, crushed

Instructions

  • In a cooking pan, combine the coconut milk, pork, shrimp, shrimp paste, ginger, onion, and garlic.
  • Heat the pot over low to medium heat and let boil.
  • Once the mixture starts to boil, gently stir to mix the ingredients. Cover the pot and simmer for 15 to 20 minutes. Stir occasionally to prevent the ingredients from sticking on the bottom of the cooking pot.
  • Add-in the dried taro (gabi) leaves and green chilis. Do not stir. Let it stay for about 20 to 30 minutes until the leaves absorb the coconut milk. Gently push the leaves down so that it can absorb more coconut milk.
  • Once the leaves absorb the coconut milk, stir the leaves and then continue to cook for 10 minutes.
  • Pour-in the coconut cream into the cooking pot.
  • Add-in the red chilies and stir then cook until it renders fat (until you see a visible oily layer).
  • Remove from heat and transfer to a serving plate and enjoy!
