The chunk of pork belly was sweet and sticky and savoury all at once, and the egg was a fascinating foil. I'll be giving it a try at home (it's cool here, so I'm already starting to crave long-cooked things) and I will most definitely be using the real-deal belly. If an artery clogs, I've got plenty more. :) Thank you for the recipe! I'll be bookmarking this site. I just had this for lunch today, in Toronto’s Chinatown, and I can’t stop thinking about it.

I was just browsing and came across your site, which I found really fabulous and made me hungry. I am involved with the grannies united website and one of the things we are trying to get going is our links with other active blogging grandmothers I therefore just wondered if you may wish to submit an article to the site. You will see that we already have some great recipes and it would be great if you wanted to submit a few of yours. If you don't then no problem and keep up the good site. Best wishes Clare admin@granniesunited.com http://www.granniesunited.com/ Hi

Must have been pretty rich! Yeah, next time I'll cook it longer so that it'll develop a rich, dark hue, and be totally melt-in-your-mouth. Hard to be patient when you can't wait to eat!

I live in Houston where there are a lot of Vietnamese stalls that sell this. I always buy this, til one day I chanced upon your blog and the recipe. I made some last Sunday and it was great. I unabashedly used pork belly -- thats what I use for my adobo too (im Filipina). Our family actually has an adobo recipe that uses fish sauce instead of soy sauce and thit kho reminds me of that dish. Thanks again for the recipe! This is one of my favorite dishes.

We had to dip in either soy or oyster sauce to make it even remotely palatable. I made this last night (with adjustments) as part of our Chinese New Year dinner and it was fabulous! No eggs, and I used 100% coconut milk from a juice box instead of the juice as called for. My version was much darker/caramelized and melt-in-your-mouth after 2 hours.
