(serves 4)

Common, Easy-to-Find Ingredients
2. How to Cook Braised Pork and Eggs
Step 1: Prepare the Ingredients
- Rinse the pork belly thoroughly and cut into square pieces about 5cm in size.
- Wash the dried shallots and chili peppers, then finely chop them.
Step 2: Execution
- Place the pork in a pot, add 1 teaspoon of salt, wait until the water boils for about 1 minute, then turn off the heat and remove the pork to rinse it clean.
Quick Tip: This step ensures cleaner, tastier meat, resulting in a tender, beautifully colored dish after cooking.
- Boil the duck eggs until cooked, then soak them in cold water for easy peeling. Afterward, use a knife to score several lines along each egg to enhance flavor absorption during cooking.
- Next, turn on the stove to low heat, add 2 teaspoons of sugar to the pot, spreading it evenly for maximum caramelization. Once the sugar melts, stir until it turns into a deep amber color. Then, pour in a small bowl of hot water and turn off the stove. You now have caramelized water ready for marinating the meat.
The dish of braised pork cannot go without the rich caramelized water.
- Mix the meat with finely chopped dried shallots, 1 teaspoon of sugar, caramelized water, 1 teaspoon of black peppercorns, and 1 tablespoon of fish sauce. Marinate the meat for 30 minutes to allow it to absorb the flavors evenly.
- Then, bring it to a boil, adding hot water just enough to cover the meat. Simmer over low heat for about 30 minutes. At this point, you can add duck eggs and chili peppers, and season to taste.
The soft and tender quail eggs add an extra allure to the pot of braised pork, making it even more enticing.
3. Quick Tip
I often treat my family to braised pork and eggs three times a week, and everyone always praises its deliciousness. The rice cooker is always empty in no time. However, whenever we have important guests from Hanoi visiting, I usually take them to a renowned Vietnamese restaurant on Nguyen Van Cu Street in District 5 called Sea Vietnam. Not only does it serve traditional dishes and specialties from all three regions, such as river fish hotpot with Galangal leaves, braised snakehead fish in clay pot, steamed stuffed squid with onions, simmered snakehead fish, and field crab hotpot, which are incredibly delicious, but it also offers a wide selection of seafood dishes that I truly adore.
The restaurant offers delicious dishes from all three regions
Furthermore, the spacious, airy, modern, and elegant ambiance of the restaurant is a huge plus for me. Inspired by the ocean waves, Sea Vietnam features a dominant blue color scheme, with transparent glass panels surrounding the front of the restaurant and large walls entirely covered in unique wooden panels, providing quite an interesting experience.
