One pot Lau Lau


We made this one pot lau lau recipe tonight. It was pretty hard to fit 2 lb of taro leaves in the cooker (each bag from Safeway has 1 lb). 

I think some of the leaf got caught in the seal so it kind of hissed softly for the entire cooking time. I made it for 45 minutes, and the pork wasn't fork tender so back in it went for 10 more minutes and it was perfect. I wonder if the hissing affected the temperature and pressure but my family didn't have itchy throats. In any case, next time I'll do 60 minutes.

The total time for the recipe took about 1 1/2 hours including the time to wash and trim the leaf and cut up the pork.

Tonight was butter chicken again. The recipe called for saving half the sauce for something else. Last time I left it in the fridge and never used it. This time I poured a can of corn into the leftover sauce. My wife and kids enjoyed this option. Other options apparently are tofu, vegetables, paneer. I like the idea of making something different with the same sauce.

Ground beef coconut curry and spinach, from the Indian Instant Pot cookbook . It came out delicious--rich, spicy, full of veggies. I tried to sell it to the family like an Indian beef luau. My son and wife enjoyed it, but my daughter (who loves beef luau) did not buy this comparison. She ate leftover beef luau from last weekend.
