   In a bowl, mix the cubed pork with salt, black pepper, soy sauce, garlic, and ginger. Let marinate for 30 minutes.

2. 2

   Lay 2-3 taro leaves on a flat surface, overlapping them slightly to create a large base.

3. 3

   Place a portion of marinated pork in the center of the taro leaves and fold the leaves over to form a package.

4. 4

   Wrap the taro package in banana leaves, securing with kitchen twine if needed, to hold everything in.

   Fill a steamer pot with water, bring to a boil, then place the wrapped packages inside. Cover and steam for 90 minutes.

6. 6

   After steaming, carefully unwrap the Lau Lau packages and serve hot with rice or poi.
