Ingredients:

dried taro leaves
500 ml coconut milk (18 oz.)
1/2 c. water
4 cloves garlic, crushed and diced into small pieces
2 small brown onion, diced
1 tsp salt
pepper
5 tbsp. fish sauce
200 gms. small prawns (or 1/4 kl lean pork, diced into small pieces)
1 tbsp butter
3 pieces small red chille, sliced into 4

In a medium fry pan, heat butter then fry prawns or pork until cook (set aside).

In a medium sized sauce pan, layer the taro, garlic, onion, and chilli then pour 12 oz of coconut milk and pour the water. Sprinkle salt and pepper, then add prawn or meat on top. Simmer in low heat for 20-30 mins until taro is soaked in the coconut milk. Do not mix. Th efirst time I cook it, I mixed it and the taro got a bittery taste. Then pour fish sauce , and add the remaining coconut milk. simmer for 5 minutes or until thickened. Serve on top of boiled rice. The first time I cooked it, it wasn't that bad, I even brought some to my friends and they said it git a nice taste. You could always change this recipe, you don't have to put a lot of chilli if you don't like spicy foof and instead of using fish sauce, just add a bit more salt.
