Spinach Laing with Tofu

I learned how to cook laing from my sister-in-law who is from Bicol. I crave for this every now and then but Taro leaves ( gabi leaves) are not available in my place. I tried spinach and it tastes as good as taro leaves so here is my recipe for laing using spinach.

Ingredients:
200 grams Spinach (can be replaced with Taro leaves)
200 grams tofu ( sliced to your desired size)
1 tablespoon ginger strips
1 onion
2 red chili
1 tablespoon shrimp paste ( Bagoong)
2 cloves garlic (minced)
2 cups coconut milk
salt to taste

Procedure:
1. Dry the spinach leaves and cut into small pieces.

2. Fried the tofu and set aside.

3.Saute the garlic, ginger and onion then add the shrimp paste ( bagoong) and chili.

4.Add only the 1 cup of coconut milk and bring to a boil.
5. Add the spinach then simmer until the texture is similar to "laing na gabi". ( around 30 minutes over medium heat), then add the fried tofu and simmer for few minutes.

6.Add the rest of the coconut milk then simmer for 2 minutes and turn off the heat then serve with a smile :-).
