Laing is a classic Bicolano dish made from dried gabi leaves, coconut milk, and siling labuyo. It’s well known for its distinct taste—the contrast of creaminess from the milk, and heat from the chili peppers.
It doesn’t take a lot to make an authentic Bicolano laing. All you need are the freshest ingredients, like good quality pork and gabi leaves. Although you can use canned coconut milk, it’s still best to go for kakang gata or that first squeeze from shredded coconut. You also have to make sure not to stir it after you’ve added the gabi leaves. Just let it simmer over low heat until all the flavors come together. You can check out the recipe here.
