Thịt Kho Trứng is one of those dishes that’s all about comfort and flavour. Let’s start with the pork belly. It’s cooked until it’s super tender — think: pork that just falls apart when you poke it with your fork. Not to mention, the succulent fat from the pork belly that makes the meat juicy and flavourful!
Then there are the eggs. They’re hard-boiled, but they soak up all the yummy sauce they’re cooked in, so they’re anything but boring! Speaking of the sauce, it’s what brings this dish all together. It has fish sauce and soy sauce, which sounds intense, but they give the dish this amazing savoury taste with a bit of caramel, adding a nice sweetness.
This dish is typically a highlight during Lunar New Year celebrations when families gather and enjoy this special dish. But in my family, its appeal wasn’t limited to the new year, as my mom would cook it throughout the year. Whether it was a chilly winter evening or a casual summer dinner, this dish was a regular feature at our table, usually eaten with a side of pickled mustard greens or just simple steamed vegetables. It’s the kind of comfort meal that makes you feel right at home, no matter where you are!
