Caramel Lacquered Pork Belly Food
CARAMELIZED PORK BELLY (THIT KHO)
This dish is very popular in Vietnamese households for everyday eating but is also traditionally served during Tet, the Vietnamese Lunar New Year. The longer you cook the pork belly, the more tender it becomes. If you make this dish ahead, the fat will congeal on the surface, making it easier to remove, and a little healthier! This also allows the flavors to meld a little more. Serve with rice.

Steps:
- Slice pork belly into 1-inch pieces layered with skin, fat, and meat.
- Heat sugar in a large wok or pot over medium heat until it melts and caramelizes into a light brown syrup, about 5 minutes. Add pork and increase heat to high. Cook and stir to render some of the pork fat, 3 to 5 minutes.
- Stir shallots and garlic into the wok. Add fish sauce and black pepper; stir to evenly coat pork. Pour in coconut water and bring to a boil. Add eggs, reduce heat to low, and simmer, covered, until pork is tender, about 1 hour.
- Remove wok from the heat and let stand, about 10 minutes. Skim the fat from the surface of the dish.

CHEF JOHN'S CARAMEL PORK BELLY
I wasn't really sure I understood the true essence of unctuousness, but after eating this caramel pork belly I'm pretty sure I get it now. Each bite was pure pleasure. I'm usually a very fast eater, but I tried to eat as slowly as I possibly could. It was just so unctuous.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 200 degrees F (95 degrees C).
- Lay a large sheet of aluminum foil on a flat work surface. Lay 1/2 the green parts of the green onions down in the center of the foil. Place pork belly, fattiest-side down, on top of the green onions and top pork belly with remaining 1/2 the green parts of the green onions; sprinkle with salt. Fold aluminum foil tightly around pork and green onions. Wrap pork belly again in another sheet of aluminum foil. Place wrapped pork, seam-side up, in a loaf pan.
- Cook pork belly in preheated oven for 5 1/2 hours. Turn off the oven heat and let cool in the oven for 2 hours. Remove from oven and chill in the refrigerator for 8 hours to overnight.
- Remove pork from foil and discard green onions. Cut pork into 8 pieces.
- Cook bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crisp all over, 2 to 4 minutes per side.
- Whisk brown sugar, rice vinegar, fish sauce, ginger juice, and soy sauce together in a bowl.
- Remove most of the fat from the skillet and discard. Add 1 tablespoon of the brown sugar glaze and increase heat to medium-high. Cook until pork is glazed on all sides and pieces are caramelized, about 10 minutes. Make a well in the center of the skillet and add chopped white parts of the green onion, garlic, and peppers. Saute until fragrant, about 1 minute.
- Pour water and remaining brown sugar glaze into skillet; simmer until sauce thickens, 3 to 5 minutes.

- In a small bowl, combine the salt with 1 tablespoon of the sugar. Sprinkle the salt-sugar all over the pork belly. Wrap the pork in plastic, transfer to a plate and refrigerate overnight.
- Preheat the oven to 375°. Rinse the pork and pat dry. Set the pork in a small baking dish, fat side up, and add 1/2 cup of water. Bake for 45 minutes. Reduce the oven temperature to 325° and bake for about 45 minutes longer, until the meat is very tender. Let the pork cool, then cover and refrigerate until chilled, at least 2 hours.
- In a saucepan, cook 1/4 cup of the sugar over moderately high heat until it starts to melt, 2 minutes. Swirl the pan and cook over moderate heat until it is completely melted, 5 minutes. Using a wet pastry brush, occasionally wash down the side of the pan to release any sugar crystals. Add the remaining 1/4 cup of sugar and cook, swirling, until a richly brown caramel forms, 5 minutes. Turn off the heat and pour in 1/3 cup of water. Turn the heat to high and cook, stirring, until the caramel is smooth. Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the fish sauce, tamarind, chile and lime juice.
- In a large bowl, combine the lime juice with the fish sauce, sugar, chile and 2 tablespoons of water; stir to dissolve the sugar. Add the honeydew and toss to coat. Refrigerate for 1 hour, stirring a few times.
