I bought several packages of dried taro leaves because it is cheaper and readily available. Never tried the dried leaves before. So I didn’t expect that they won’t turn out to the way I expected after cooking them. I am not sure if it is due to the kinds of leaves I bought or … are they normally don’t cook like the undried leaves? The leaves in my laing are rubbery and indigestible. Anyone knows how to make them soft after cooking? I heard there is a preparation to do. Anyone knows?
