Method

1. 1

   Render the pork, then sauté ginger, garlic and shrimp paste.

2. 2

   Add coconut milk and bring to a gentle simmer.

3. 3

   Lay the taro leaves on top WITHOUT stirring; simmer 30 minutes.

   💡 Stirring early releases the leaves' itchy calcium oxalate — let the coconut milk tame them first.

4. 4

   Now stir, add chilies, and cook 15 more minutes until thick and almost oily.
