    well, if you had time this dish becomes more flavorful! , Originally we will sear or blow torch or grill the skin first to make it smokiness not only pork belly you can add pig feet or pigtail or pig tongue for extra collagen and texture especially bone marrow make your broth taste like Heavennn! and more Importantly! Godly Kai Palo takes time to be tasty 1 day prior.

    Seems like most Asian countries have different versions of this dish. The Vietnamese version is called "Thit Kho Tau". Instead of the broth and soy sauce, we use coconut juice and fish sauce. I like to cook mine in the instant pot as well. It's quick, delicious and doesn't stink up the whole house… LOL

    Pailin your making me hungry….! I've make this dish a lot. This dish is easy and simple to make. I do it a bit differently and get more of the aroma when I wake up the next day. The way that I cook it is by using a slow cooker to cook them. I would also add carrots, scallions, potatoes and dried red/hot peppers and set the cooking temperature to low the previous night and it will be ready the next day. It is the best way to cook whenever having kids.

    This reminds of a vietnamese dish called thit kho trung its braised pork in a caramelized sugar, coconut water and fish sauce. One of the Viet family comfort that's fatty and tasty. Lol
