Adding bamboo shoots to Thịt Kho Trứng changes the whole dish taste and aroma. It’s a completely different dish! The bamboo shoots have a distinct flavor and aroma. It also soaks up so much flavor from the kho sauce.

Wash pork belly with salt to remove pork slime and odor. Rinse with water, pat dry, and cut into bite size pieces.

Season with sugar, chicken bouillon granulate, fish sauce, ground black pepper, and dark coconut glaze color (OR dark soy sauce). Sauté till evenly mix.
5

Add cooked quail eggs, and bamboo shoots. Stir fry evenly. Season with extra chicken bouillon and fish sauce. Add 1 can coco Rico.
6

Bring to boil, then add red Thai chili and extra black pepper. Cover lid and let simmer on low for 10 minutes.
