Procedure :

Carefully remove the skin of the taro stalk. (siguraduhing maalis ang lahat ng balat para maiwasang mangati ang dila) Slice it thinly and put it in a pan with water enough to soak all the stalk. Let it boil for about 3 minutes.



Drain the taro stalk and put 1 can of coconut milk. Let it boil till the oil come's out.

In another pan, saute garlic, onion, ginger, meat until golden brown. Next is the anchovy and the shrimp paste.



Then put the sauteed ingredients together with the boiled stalk in a coconut milk. Put remaining 1 can of coconut milk and again let it boil till it gets dry under a low heat.If you like it spicy, just put the long green hot pepper. If not, just add more ginger.
