When my wife took me to visit the Philippines, after a few weeks I really began to miss the food from home. So when we returned to Canada, I asked her what food from her home country she missed the most, and she said "Laing". So I took it upon myself to research a bunch of different recipes, and what you have here is my own version based on a variety of other peoples versions, with my own tweaks.Not in the recipe itself, but some interesting variations include the addition of apple cider vinegar, and/or chopped water chestnuts. The latter being somewhat reminiscent of the collard greens I had the privilege of sampling when I was down south a few years ago. Also, the Filipino diet really seems to be quite sugar laden. You may wish to reduce the amount of sugar in this recipe, especially if you are using quality coconut milk, which is a bit sweet on its own.Enjoy!Copyright 2015 - All rights reserved
