Easy Viet Inspired Coffee & Brown Sugar Braised Pork Recipe by x
 x @cook_5886383 This easy and delicious sweet-savory pork recipe was inspired by the traditional Vietnamese caramelized pork dish Thit Kho. The coffee and brown sugar lend a similar flavor to the dish as Vietnamese caramel sauce, which is traditionally used in the dish for its roasted, caramelized, coffee type flavor and glaze, but which I rarely make or have on hand. We like to eat it with steamed Jasmine rice and some simple Vietnamese style pickled cabbage and carrots on the side. (Or kimchi. I am half Korean, after all. ;) ) The leftover sauce is so delicious over steamed rice, you won't want to throw it away. Oh, and the pork also makes an awesome filling for my Vietnamese Street Tacos, but that's a recipe for another day. :D This easy and delicious sweet-savory pork recipe was inspired by the traditional Vietnamese caramelized pork dish Thit Kho.

The taste, however, is like a sweet, luxurious and ultra-creamy dessert—the egg thickens the already-sweet drink, resulting in what's often described as liquid tiramisu.

I was always thinking about making something like that, but didn't quite go through with it. With this combination of ingredients you can enjoy them with your children too. If you love coffee, you can add more to make it even more bitter. This is a simple and basic recipe, so please add your own variations and have fun. I added richness by using light brown sugar. Just like plain steamed bread, make sure not up over mix it, be sure to use a cloth, and please steam at a high heat. Please make sure to dissolve the coffee well. The size of each steamer varies from store to store, so place that in a pot, civet with a plate, and you should be good to go.

Yoru Chewy Black Bean & Coffee Cream Rolls Chewy Black Bean & Coffee Cream Rolls I was chosen to review Fujikko's Tanba Kuromame black beans. The beans are really plump, delicious, and big beans. I made this dessert as something that could be enjoyed by old and young people alike. The skins are very simple to make, and the cream can be made with a hand mixer and a microwave so everything is very easy. To make the most of the natural sweetness of the black beans this cream isn't too sweet and it's made a little bitter on purpose. If you roll all of the ingredients up in a chewy skin you get just the right level of sweetness I think. Please adjust the cooking time according to your microwave.
