About Thit kho

Thịt Kho, a traditional Vietnamese dish, is a savory caramelized pork belly stew typically simmered with eggs, coconut water, and fish sauce. This flavorful dish hails from Southern Vietnam and is commonly enjoyed during Tết, the Lunar New Year. The rich caramelization process results in tender, melt-in-your-mouth meat infused with a balance of sweet and salty notes. While Thịt Kho is protein-packed due to the pork and eggs, it is high in fat, particularly saturated fat, from the pork belly. Coconut water lends natural sweetness and some essential electrolytes, making it a slightly healthier alternative to sugar-based marinades. However, the dish can also be high in sodium due to its fish sauce content. For a lighter version, leaner cuts of pork or reduced-sodium ingredients can be used. Paired traditionally with rice, Thịt Kho provides comfort and sustained energy but should be eaten in moderation for a balanced diet.
