Gabi leaves are soaked and cooked in coconut milk. There are other ingredients that go into it but the laing wouldn’t be laing if it weren’t for the gabi leaves in coconut milk.

How To Cook Laing Our Way
Now for the good part. Here’s how to cook laing our way.
Boil the gabi leaves, slices of fruit, and stems together. While that’s happening, saute the pork, ginger, onion, and garlic. Wait until the pork is cooked.
Once it’s cooked, add in the second squeeze of the coconut milk.

Experience the luscious flavors of lovely laing. 😃
Bonus: Lovely Laing Goes So Well With Pork Binagoonan
Laing can be eaten alone or with rice (as always!) 😀
This lovely dish also goes so well with another tasty dish called pork binagoonan.
Some laing recipes call for bagoong. As you can see, we did not include bagoong in our list of laing ingredients.
Instead, we chose to make it into a second dish that can be paired with laing. So, here’s our pork bagoong recipe. 😀
Check out the ingredients below:
Pork bagoong is a pretty easy dish. Once you have gathered all the ingredients, saute the pork with onions, tomatoes, and garlic.
Add in the bagoong and cook. Feel free to add some vinegar to balance the saltiness of the dish. Then transfer to a serving dish to pair it up with the lovely laing. 😃
Laing and pork bagoong make a perfect combination.
