MICHAEL BAO HUYNH'S VIETNAMESE CARAMELIZED PORK



Michael Bao Huynh's Vietnamese Caramelized Pork image

Thit kho to - a sticky-sweet pork dish with funky undertones of nuoc mam - is often served on Tet Nguyen Dan, the Vietnamese New Year and the nation's most important holiday. This recipe is adapted from Michael Bao Huynh, a chef and restaurateur who came to the United States as a refugee in 1982. Thit kho to is traditionally made with pork belly, but it can also be made with pork shoulder butt (as shown in the photo) - a lighter though no less delicious alternative. Serve the meat over a pile of snowy white rice with a bottle of hot pepper sauce nearby.

Time 45m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 1/2 cups sugar
2 1/2 pounds pork belly or butt, sliced into thin, inch-long strips
1 tablespoon salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup fish sauce
2 heaping teaspoons minced garlic
1 dash sesame oil
1 medium Vidalia onion, sliced
4 scallions, sliced, green part only
Rice for serving

Steps:

  • Cover bottom of a large, heavy skillet with one cup sugar and place over medium low heat. As soon as it melts and turns golden, add pork, raise heat to medium, and stir until coated. (Sugar will become sticky and may harden, but it will re-melt as it cooks, forming a sauce.)
  • Stir in remaining sugar, salt, pepper and fish sauce. Cover and cook 2 minutes. Uncover, stir in garlic and oil and lower to simmer to reduce sauce for about 20 minutes.
  • Stir in Vidalia onions and cook until translucent, 5 to 7 minutes. Pork should be caramelized; if not, raise heat and sauté while sauce further reduces. Transfer to serving bowl, and sprinkle with scallion greens.

Caramelized slow cooked pork with hard boiled eggs. Boiled eggs are surprisingly good stirred into savory sauces, as the whites absorb much of the flavor and add an interesting texture to the meal. This meal is traditionally enjoyed for the holidays. from khmerkromrecipes.com for ZWT9

Time 1h

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

6 eggs
1 tablespoon water (for caramel)
1 tablespoon sugar (for caramel)
2 cups water
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 stalk green onion, minced
1/4 cup fish sauce
1/4 cup sugar
2 cups fresh coconut juice or 2 cups coconut soda
1 1/2 lbs pork, cut into 2-inch cubes
salt and pepper

Steps:

  • Boil eggs in water using your preferred method. (I like to stick each egg with a thumb tack and boil for 10 minutes, then run under cold water so they don't get a green yolk.) Meanwhile, slice the pork into 2" chunks. Peel the eggs and set aside.
  • In a large pot, caramelize the sugar over medium heat, stirring constantly. When it reaches a deep golden color pour the 2 cups of water over it and stir well.
  • Add garlic, onion, fish sauce, sugar, salt, and coconut juice, stir until combined.
  • Add the pork meat, and cook over low heat for 40 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • When the meat is tender add the boiled eggs, and continue cooking until they are just warmed through.
  • Serve hot with rice and sliced cucumber.

CARAMELIZED PORK BELLY (THIT KHO)



Caramelized Pork Belly (Thit Kho) image

This dish is very popular in Vietnamese households for everyday eating but is also traditionally served during Tet, the Vietnamese Lunar New Year. The longer you cook the pork belly, the more tender it becomes. If you make this dish ahead, the fat will congeal on the surface, making it easier to remove, and a little healthier! This also allows the flavors to meld a little more. Serve with rice.

Time 1h43m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 pounds pork belly, trimmed
2 tablespoons white sugar
5 shallots, sliced
3 cloves garlic, chopped
3 tablespoons fish sauce
ground black pepper to taste
13 fluid ounces coconut water
6 hard-boiled eggs, peeled

Steps:

  • Slice pork belly into 1-inch pieces layered with skin, fat, and meat.
  • Heat sugar in a large wok or pot over medium heat until it melts and caramelizes into a light brown syrup, about 5 minutes. Add pork and increase heat to high. Cook and stir to render some of the pork fat, 3 to 5 minutes.
  • Stir shallots and garlic into the wok. Add fish sauce and black pepper; stir to evenly coat pork. Pour in coconut water and bring to a boil. Add eggs, reduce heat to low, and simmer, covered, until pork is tender, about 1 hour.
  • Remove wok from the heat and let stand, about 10 minutes. Skim the fat from the surface of the dish.
