a food of many names 🤔 [ hmong sweet pork ]

hmong sweet pork, or braised pork belly ~
This dish is a hmong food I grew up eating, but I know other cultures have slight variations of this under a different name. Food is something we all have in common, so.. what do you call this?

Oh my gosh! It’s so nice to finally see Hmong food influencers! Everyone I watch that cooks food is always Korean and I’m like…”dang, I wish people could understand how good Hmong food is!” Thank you for making this video from one Hmong person to another!

[@hanandrtran127]

it’s called ‘thit kho tau’ in vietnam

[@PurplepAncAkE]

Is called “khor” in my country

[@aaryntaylor]

I eat it almost everyday for breakfast with sticky rice

[@hanandrtran127]

@@aaryntaylor ohh, somebody in my region eat it with sticky rice too, but i'm not used to it

[@UtCy]

We eat this with banh tet.

[@lucsun6960]

yeah it's adapted from Hong Shao Rou from China.

[@shijimuh]

this reminds me of Pork Humba, a really popular food here in the Visayas region of the Philippines.

[@chriztiansoberano5465]

adobo😋😋😋

[@maryantoniettejaranay1277]

[@iumeaningofyou565]

Same! This is awesome!!!!

[@lollypoppy1325]

This reminds of of a dish my Mimi makes called “pork and egg” (idk how to pronounce it in Vietnamese). My dad married a wonderful Vietnamese lady and I love anything Vietnamese. I’m not Vietnamese myself but I love the culture I was adopted into. My Mimi is everything to me and I love her so much. Especially her cooking! I’m happy to see something that reminds me a a little bit of home. Thank you so much 😊

In Cambodia the dish is called Ka and it’s one of my Favorite dishes. I can smell the deliciousness through the screen 🤤 I would love to try how other ethnicity’s’ makes it.

[@channary2550]

I’m Cambodian too and Ka hits the spot during the winter

[@thenailarchitect0808]

[@alis4650gls]

Mmm this dish is amazingly good

[@xMelodyx5]

we call this “tom khem” in lao :) tom means boil and khem means salty. which is funny since i really enjoy this dish when it’s on the sweeter side!

[@AsianAmericanGuy]

Was about to say this dish is sweet af

[@lillytopaz2899]

Similar to a Laotian dish called Tom khem. I heard there's quite a bit of similarities between the two culture's food

[@nana-wk3jh]

Exactly what I was thinking when I saw this!

[@Steve-wt9ym]

Shoutout to all the Laotians 🤪

[@neneklang5611]

Omgeeeee you mentioned Hmong!! How exciting! Always loved your videos

[@BR-iy8le]

this was so amazing ! i made this for my husband last night and he fell in love. not to mention how simple it was !!

[@Tinaburnerike]

I want that on top of my collard greens 🥬 ❤

[@nilajakamau7854]

guuurl!!! ive fallen in love with the Chinese version of this pork dish with my collards.

[@A-Minor-Music]

Im an expat in Taiwan. My local friend's mother recently made this for her. I think the Mandarin Chinese name for this dish is 紅燒肉 hongshao rou (lit. red-braised meat). I have also had chicken made this way in Taiwan.

[@AverySparklesVideos]

Yeah, 红烧肉。

[@dianajumalon1717]

We call it humba from the southern parts of the philippines ❤

[@Krislt9]

Didn’t know you were Hmong! Cool!

[@joelrivers4241]

So we use dark beer and oranges then hit with Sazon black pepper oregano and we use garlic/onions as well and then we use cilantro and flat leaf parsley soy sauce or salt. In the oven not boiled

[@teev5362]

in cebu philippines we call that humba but the aromatics we use are garlic, bay leaf, star anise and some root spices

[@AmyBethB]

If you fried the pork covered in Cajun spice it is Louisiana crack aka cracklin. Yum!

[@tracyyang8247]

Omg, Nqaj Qaab Zib is one of my favorite dishes growing up! Brings back good memories and reminiscence hehe.

[@Emily_Rose2]

Try palm sugar instead white sugar.. since it's made from coconut, it adds more aroma big time.. Or you can use sweet soysuace instead, i'd recommend Bango brand☺️

[@Naya23890]

Omg that looks so good I really want to make this now tysmm

[@hahap5411]

I love this dish. My Filipino friends make it all the time! Yum yum!

[@owl1933]

I ve always wanted to know how it is made😍 Small tip : pour hot water on the caramelised sugar rather than cold

[@minyoung823]

More like humba of Mindanao. But to avoid too much oil they render the fat then strain. A dish in every fiesta, wedding, baptism, birthdays - basically every occasion with lots of visitors. 😁👍

[@Mhairie8Luv8]

The ingredients are mostly the same with our dish we call “humba.” Though its not how we cook it but i think they taste almost the same because we also use sugar and soy sauce.

[@kennedymoua1385]

i always thought you were korean it’s actually so cool to see hmong creators on youtube !!

[@springday7013]

I'm going to make this your way! I've seen other videos on this recipe but yours is much simpler.

[@ayessakhloenanoy6550]

In my country particularly in cebu we called it humba...sooo gooodddd🤤

[@tigrevu8636]

I need to make this immediately

[@Sanrio_person]

(Nybzoo) is how you say hi in hmong:)

[@graceesguerra358]

This is close to our dish “HUMBA” 🥰😊

[@iumeaningofyou565]

[@poissonrouge5166]

Never Saw a hmong on KZbin it's refreshing

[@davids8361]

Subscribed! I’ve always wanted to learn hmong recipes since my friend taught me some.

[@christophersherman5404]

I've eaten this growing up my buff was vietnamese. It looks the same and is sweet and savory but more sweet. I miss eating this yummy dish.

[@tashaelle6264]

One of my favorite dishes to make. I like to marinade my pork belly overnight with dark, sweet soy sauce.

[@denisegay232]

Home girl! I’m going to make that this week❤

[@nachamu99]

Wowww you’re Hmong!!!! That’s awesome.

[@x0x0lilz]

this reminds me of thit kho! it’s a vietnamese dish that’s very similar. so yummy!

[@AlissaSss23]

That looks delicious, this kind of recipe is the best for pork belly!!!

[@keifyw7444]

紅燒肉，in a Chinese restaurant it is called "braised pork belly" on the menu. And in Taiwan, you'll find 滷肉飯, basically it is chopped this pork and match witb steamed white rice. In southeest of China, they have "Chinese hamburger 肉夾饃, ot is this chopped pork, chopped jalapeños and cilantro, so good. And in Shanghai area, they cook big Big cubes of this same dish, amd called DongPo pork, Dong Po was a famous Zen master/politician/poet/great eld brother...in Song Dynasty (which was the era after Gingoskan's

[@jussticexiong6228]

You’re Hmong?! That is so beautiful! 💞🌺 This is my favorite dish!

[@Coriander675]

Good Lord that looks amazing

[@retrocny5625]

That looks incredible. Need to make this.

[@breerodriguez258]

It’s called 红烧肉 hong shao rou in China! Soooo delicious!

[@simplysilent2980]

Delish! Thanks 👍

[@lelagarnett8653]

This looks delicious!!

[@_.aly.s._]

OMG THIS IS MY FAVORITE ❤️

[@karenwalker1970]

Looks good. In my culture we boil the pork in our vegetables or fry the pork.

[@charishesedrafael5900]

Looks like Philippines’ ‘humba’. We have this in the northern Philippines but we use less sugar and add pineapple juice instead. 😊

[@jcman-lp6lg]

Honestly If find it best when you let it cool. Not only will the fat freeze over making it easier to remove but letting it sit in time will let the flavors develop more the eggs get better flavor from the broth.

[@jessiesprinkleberries]

Very similar to Babi Kecap in Indonesia!! I love it so so much! Delicious!!

[@ronsmith9251]

That looks amazing!

[@mimik6414]

I didn’t know the right way to cook this recipe so I just fried the pork belly, add salt, then threw in the boiled eggs and brown sugar lol. Still tasted great!😋

[@TheHarveyTruth]

I need to get a plate of that. It looks delicious!

[@Me-ef5pf]

I can’t believe you’re Hmong! This whole time I swear you were Korean or Vietnamese haha! So nice to see Hmong content creators!

[@harryv6752]

Nyob zoo! Hmong sweet pork is the shiznit! Especially how Mama used to make it and still does. Keep on rockin'! 🤘

[@davidendsley2391]

You make me so homesick and hungry at the same time. I make this myself except I add shrimp and we call it sweet pork&shrimp❤

[@ohkasani1507]

[@knifeturtle]

[@jimblack806]

Burnt pork butt ends Usually made in the oven or grill Like your sauce other than barbecue sauce Plus I want to try the eggs

[@laraoneal7284]

Looks delicious

[@Victoria-fi7nb]

Looks great! It's kind of Adobo to us. Others orefera it with ginger and sugar. Original is just onions, garlic, soy sauce, vunegar and sakt and balcj pepper.

[@clairejohnson8550]

pork butt! bought some and am excited to see your recipe so I can cook the rest of my pb!

[@popokidoki9747]

That looks delicious!!

[@AofFL]

Looks good. I def want to try

[@TenilleGaj]

We call this stew pork. But we’ll burn the sugar till it gets a bit darker than caramel then add the pork directly to that first. And add all the other ingredients after including water

[@envyvasquez2093]

This look so good🥰

[@rajamuqeet6503]

Looking sooo yummy❤️

[@sashadacua7046]

It is called "humba" where i am from... a very popular dish.

[@jayishikawa4150]

Oh wow, this is almost a 1-1 recipe my friend's mom makes Ta Cau. At least that's how I think it's spelled l0l. (Viet name) I haven't seen this dish outside of vietnamese households, so I'm curious what culture/name this has to you.

[@stephanielim7967]

We have a similar sweet pork dish in Southern Philippines called humba. Just no lemongrass. The lemongrass intrigues me. I think it will brighten up the flavor. I'm gonna try your recipe. Thanks for sharing.

[@DaemonwarriorJulius]

I call this my next dinner. Thanks for the recipe.

[@teenakitty]

I've never seen pork like this.... I feel so left out seeing all these delicious dishes

[@geldinadejesus9823]

thats what my papa used to do when cooking Chinese pork cooking for us. miss my papa how he cook .his a good cook than my mama

[@mickthemisfit7975]

Reminds me of hong shao rou in chinese aka red braised pork its red because of the sugar being caramelized

[@KeroroFan123]

that looks so good😭😭

[@larissavitoria292]

Me and my man who is Vietnamese went recently to a Hmong event in Seattle, it was fun

[@ipman9165]

Hmong people can make some BOMB ass papaya salad FACTS!

[@teridoster5840]

Ginger works well enough as a substitute for galangal

[@amylingar4713]

[@m.muaslis6902]

Omg! I didn't even know you are Hmong. You are absolutely beautiful.... thought you were Korean. ❤

[@sandrakhoury8407]

In Thailand we have a similar dish called kai palo 🤤

[@noritanorita2478]

I'm definitely trying this 😁 wish me luck 🙏

[@kcpopoo]

We do it with Fish, Pork, Chicken and even Beef. Instead of sugar, we use palm sugar because it's more fragrant and the colour is prettier when caramelised, also palm sugar doesn't crystalize as much as sugar so the meat wouldn't be tough as left over. Some recipe include using pineapple, sugarcane or tomato.

[@asabibeckles110]

In my culture we call it stewed pork and add carrots and onions. Rather than it being a sugar sauce, we burn the sugar and add the pork and then the liquids. Of course the pork is seasoned 1st with our green seasoning or dried seasonings.

[@ML-fc1ug]

I moved from Minnesota. God I miss this food.

[@Annatelle0]

My mom and dad made this when I was a kid 😋 almost forgot about it

[@justjamjian]
