The main ingredient of "Khâu Nhục" dish is fresh pork belly, meticulously prepared. The cooking process requires skill, starting with boiling the meat thoroughly, then using bamboo skewers to pierce and remove excess fat from the skin. The meat is then drained, and honey is applied to the surface to enhance its richness. After frying and slicing into pieces about 1.5cm thick, the meat is marinated with ingredients such as bamboo shoots, dried garlic, fish sauce, and spices like MSG and cloves, creating a distinctive flavor.
 

According to the local interpretation, "Khâu" means "steamed until tender and fragrant," while "nhục" means "meat." Therefore, "Khâu Nhục" can be understood as "Meat steamed until tender" or "meat steamed until soft and fragrant." It is through the meticulous cooking process and long cooking time that biting into a piece of meat allows one to clearly feel its tenderness melting in the mouth, combined with the rich flavor of various spices, creating an unforgettable taste.
