Eating Thai red pork.

What is Khao Moo Daeng (ข้าวหมูแดง)?
Just real briefly in case you aren’t familiar. Khao Moo Daeng is a widely available and popular Thai $1 dish. It starts with a scoop of rice and usually includes a few slices of red barbecued pork, some crispy pork belly, a few slices of Chinese sausage, half a boiled egg, and a few sprigs of cilantro and shoots of green onions.

Making Khao Moo Daeng To-Go

The sausage and the pork belly remained crispy and lightly caramelized on the outside. The hard boiled egg was lightly undercooked so it stayed moist and perfectly runny. The sauce, though quite sweet, was a surge of amazing concentrated pork flavor that made me want to drink it.
