  • 4.5 cans Canned Sardines
  • 4.5 cups Taro Leaves
  • 2.25 piece Radish
  • 11.25 pieces Okra
  • 4.5 pieces Tomatoes
  • 6.75 pieces Sampaloc

  1. Wash the taro leaves, removing the thick central stem. Chop them coarsely.

  2. In a large pot, sauté the shrimp paste for 30 seconds until fragrant. Add the diced tomatoes and cook until softened.

  4. Add the radish (daikon) chunks and simmer for 10 minutes until beginning to soften.

  5. Add the okra and taro leaves. Simmer for 10 more minutes until the okra and leaves are tender.
