The poached dish is a familiar with everyone such as poached fish,
poached pork… However, not everyone knows “kho quet”. To Southern people,
especially popular with the Western provinces. “Kho quet” is simple but its
flavor is irresistible.
“Kho quet” is basically a dish for poor people because of its
salty from the fish sauce. Therefore, you can finish a meal with just a bit of
“kho quet.” Moreover, in the rainy days it’s also an unmissable dish of every
family. In some places, people cook it really long time to vapor, and left the
concentrated salt.
Before, “kho quet” has the main ingredients are fish sauce, black
sugar, chili. Fish sauce was poached in a clay pot. When eating, we use the top
of chopstick to stick out a bit and leak it. Just a small dish of “kho quet”
and a boiled vegetable can be a perfect family meal.
Nowadays, the “kho quet” is not for poor anymore. There are more
ingredients putting in such as: pork belly, dry shrimp, dry fat, onion, pepper…
and appeared in some luxury restaurant with not cheap price. Still the same
direction: fish sauce, a bit of sugar, pepper corn and fry onion, have them all
in the clay pot with: pork belly, melted fat, dry shrimp… stir well and cook on
a low heat until it’s getting thicker and have burning smell.
It’s simple but once tasting it, no one can forget the strong
attractive flavor of this dish. “Kho quet” match perfectly with boiled
vegetable or “com chay” (fried rice). The cool flavor of vegetable combines
with the salt sweet flavor of “kho quet” can bring down anyone who picky.
