Cooking technique

About this dish

Kho is a traditional Vietnamese cooking technique where a protein source, such as beef, pork, poultry, fish, shrimp, or fried tofu, is marinated in fish sauce or soy sauce and spices, such as pepper, garlic, shallot, and ginger, then simmered on medium-low heat in a mixture of nước màu (caramel sauce) and water or a water substitute, such as coconut juice. The resulting kho dish is sweet, salty, and savory, and meant to be eaten with steamed rice.
