How to make Vietnamese Coconut Braised Pork | Mixed Noodle Bowl & Banh Mi Sandwich Recipes

Vietnamese Coconut-Braised Pork Hello there! Today, I'm going to show you a very simple Vietnamese dish that you can easily make at home. It's called Vietnamese coconut-braised pork. The Mekong Delta region of Vietnam is famous for its coconut production, and I guess that's one of the reasons you will find so many Vietnamese dishes made with coconut there. For this dish, pork is simply braised with fresh coconut water and a little fish sauce until the meat becomes tender and the cooking liquid turns into a rich, glossy sauce as the natural sugars in the coconut water caramelize. Another thing I love about this dish is how versatile it is. Traditionally, this braised pork is served with steamed rice as part of a home-cooked meal. But later in this video, I'll show you how to turn it into a topping for a Vietnamese noodle bowl and a filling for Bánh Mì. RECIPE 1.
