Author Notes

Laing is a creamy, sweet and spicy Filipinx dish that is typically made with taro leaves, but I've found that taro leaves are hard to come by where I live. Here I replace the taro leaves with a sturdy leafy green vegetable like kale or collard greens. I wouldn’t recommend using spinach for this recipe since it will be too soft when wilted and won’t hold up well to the coconut cream. This is a quick and delicious weeknight side that comes together in less than 10 minutes. —Abby Ricarte
