Thịt kho trứng - caramelized pork and eggs

2 lbs pork belly, pork shoulder or pork butt, cut 1-2 inches thick
1 TBSP garlic, mined
1 TBSP shallots, minced (or 2 TBSP white parts scallion, chopped)
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
1 TBSP oil— I used avocado oil
2 TBSP sugar
2 cans or 24 oz coco rico*
16 oz water
1/2 cup fish sauce
2 TBSP sugar
Soft boiled eggs
*1 can coco Rico is 12 oz.


1. Cut pork belly into large chunks. Marinate with 1 TBSP minced garlic, 1 TBSP shallots or white parts of scallion, 1/2 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp black pepper

2. In a large enough pot, add 1 TBSP oil and 2 TBSP sugar. Cook this until it turns a dark amber/ brown color. Stir occasionally.

3. Once sugar has turned color, add your marinated pork and coat it well in the sugar. Cook until all the pink is gone. (Note: your sugar may harden up a little but just continue to stir. It will melt again)

4. Once the pink is all gone, add 2 cans of coco rico, 16 oz water, 1/2 cup fish sauce, and 2 TBSP sugar. Bring this to a boil. During this process, a lot of foam will appear, skim it out and discard

5. Once this comes to a boil, reduce heat and simmer for 2 hours.

6. After 2 hours of simmering, taste test. If it taste ok, crank your heat to high and cook for 5-10 mins, uncovered. At this point, you can add soft boiled eggs if you’d like. Soft boiled because it will cook some more during this time

7. Enjoy with work a bowl of steaming rice. Bon appetitties =)
