Caramelized pork and eggs (Vietnamese: thịt kho hột vịt or thịt kho tàu) is a Vietnamese[1] dish traditionally consisting of small pieces of marinated pork and boiled eggs braised in coconut juice. This particular dish is most likely originated from the famous tau yu bak (豆油肉), a traditional Hokkien dish of China.

In the Vietnamese language, Thịt means "meat" and Kho is a Vietnamese cooking technique from China.[2]

Although it is a familiar part of an everyday meal amongst the Vietnamese in Southern Vietnam,[3] it is also one of the traditional dishes during Vietnamese New Year.[4] Before it is served for general consumption, the food is offered to deceased ancestors or family members[5] on altars.

In Vietnam, rice is commonly served alongside this dish.[6]
