Where to find ingredients
You can find these ingredients at local grocery stores in Pohnpei, particularly in the refrigerated and dry goods sections. Heart of palm is often available canned in the international aisle; if unavailable, you may substitute with artichoke hearts for a similar texture.

- Add the garlic and sauté for another 30 seconds.

- Add one ladle of hot broth or water and cook, stirring until the liquid is almost absorbed.
