8. Thit Kho To: This delicious caramelized pork belly cooked with eggs is found in nearly every Vietnamese home. The pork is braised for hours in coconut water, sugar, and fish sauce until fall-off-the-bone tender. It’s typically served over rice with a side of vegetables like bok choy or green beans.
