Today I’m sharing one of the most Viet home dishes ever. It’s such an at-home dish that when I tried to make it on Masterchef, the judges had no idea what I was on about so I freaked and didn’t make it.
For dinner at home, we have some soup or broth that helps to wet rice and dilute the intense salty, punchy flavours of other dishes. i.e. a clay pot caramel, grilled meat or salted, dried fish.
This pumpkin and pork dish is easy. We usually make it and work on the other dishes while this is popping away. Now, if you’re not into slurping on a bone, don’t. Just up the pork mince mix and use the bones only as a flavouring. (Those bones dipped in a chilli soy sauce is “eat alone messily with your favourite show on" good.)
