Langi Cuisine
Langi Cuisine is a traditional cooking style from the Tonga islands, known for its unique flavors and cooking methods. It often features ingredients like root vegetables, seafood, and meats, which are cooked in an underground oven called a umu. This method allows for slow cooking, enhancing the natural flavors of the food.
The cuisine is characterized by its use of fresh, local ingredients and simple preparation techniques. Popular dishes include lu (taro leaves cooked with coconut milk) and ota ika (raw fish marinated in citrus). Langi Cuisine reflects the rich cultural heritage and communal values of the Tongan people.
