Étapes

Boil the pork first

Put the pork in a pot with the cold water and bring to a boil over high heat. Boil for 3 minutes, then drain and rinse the pork under cool water. This removes scum so the sauce stays clear.

History & Culture

The Story Behind the Dish

📍 Southern Vietnam📅 Traditional🥚 VN

Thịt kho trứng is cooked in large pots in the days before Tết, the Lunar New Year, when markets close and families need food that keeps. The braise improves over several days, and a pot can feed visiting relatives through the holiday.

Coconut water — not milk — gives the broth its gentle sweetness, a hallmark of southern Vietnamese cooking.
