"Tepus" Local Bidayuh word

The Bidayuhs call it "Tepus".  I search through the net, it is a ginger family plant found in the wild.

The Tepus are sliced off its skin and then cut to small cubes.  It got a type of sap which will bring thread forms.  But dont worry, just fry the tepus with garlic, minced meat or anchovies.

It is a very tasty vegetable from the wild. No chemicals at all.  Good for health.

Colocasia stalks

Not all colocasia stalks can be eaten.  Some are used for feeding pigs.

But only this type is edible by humans as the sap are not causing lips allergy.

The colocasia stalks are peeled off its skin, cut to small pieces.
Fry a small garlic and add archovies if you wish
and put in the coloocasia stalks with medium fire to low fire.

Before serving add in bits of salt or msg as you wish but NEVER ever add in water because
the stalks contains much water.
