Master the art of perfectly sliced spam with these essential meat slicer tips!

Did you know there is a meat slicer for canned goods? There are some people who would like perfect slices when cooking a meal. Those who are in a hurry Carmina found something quick and easy to use. Carmina found a luncheon stainless meat slicer something similar with an egg slicer. Carmina made her purchase from  Rose Underwear Shop  Online Shopee for 80.00 pesos ($1.40) not including shipping and handling. All you need is remove the luncheon meat from the can and place it on top making sure the slicer is open by moving the blade up. Close the lid which is the stainless-steel blade slice the luncheon meat. It is easier if you're using both hands however were able to do it using one hand while taking the video. NOT SPONSORED.

Ginataang Laing Recipe



In the Philippines you may have notice we love cooking our food with gata which is coconut milk and this time we will be making laing it is shredded taro leaves.

Ginataang Laing originally came from the province of Bicol but it is cooked everywhere.

Sometimes people make this dish and their throat becomes itchy and rough when you bite into it and to prevent that to happen there is a way before you will cook up your dish. 

In my recipe I will give you a technique that Manang V does in our home when she makes this dish.

Laing Recipe
Ingredients:
  • 4 Cups - Dried Gabi Leaves
  • 2 - Lemongrass stalk
  • 4 Cup Gata (coconut milk)
  • 2 Cup Coconut Cream 
  • 1 - Onion (chopped)
  • 4 - Cloves Garlic (minced)
  • 1 - Tbsp - Shrimp Paste (bagoong alamang)
  • 1 - Thumb size Ginger (peel and minced)
  • 4 - Green Finger Chili (cut 1 inch piece)
  • 2 Slices Pork  (cut 1/4 thick) - Optional
Note:

You can add more green finger chili if you prefer your laing to be spicy

Cooking Instructions
Step 1:
  • In a large pot add cooking oil add the garlic, onion, shrimp paste, ginger and coconut milk
  • Mix together and let it cook for 2 minutes
  • Add the taro leaves and let it blend with the coconut milk make sure you don't mix it and let it boil until it dries up for 10 minutes.
When you mix less while cooking the taro leaves this prevents it from being itchy when you eat the laing.

Step 2:
  • Add coconut cream, green chilies and leave it to boil until the taro leaves dries up with the coconut cream cook for 15 minutes and can add more green chiles until it becomes cooked.
