Description
Law-uy is a vegetable soup dish popular in Mindanao, at first sight it looks like dinengdeng or laswa but this dish is totally different and from what I noticed it uses a lot of slimy vegetables and root crop. Jute leaves, Okra, Loofah and Taro are the main vegetables that gives it the unique consistency.
