The best part of this dish is the pork cracklings - they're like mini bacon bits but better!

Pork and Eggs Simmered in Coconut Juice - Thịt Kho nước dừa
Pork belly and hard-boiled eggs stewed in coconut juice until the pork is tender enough to flake off with a fork and the eggs develop a caramelized sheen. We eat this with white rice and pickled chives, bean sprouts, carrots and chilis. For the Lunar New Year in Vietnam, we roll the pork and eggs with some of the pickled veggies in rice paper for a celebratory meal.

Cutlass Bean Pudding - Chè Đậu Ván
After searching for decades for cutlass beans in America (some Vietnamese grocers do carry them, but the ones we've tried all failed to turn out a good pudding), a posting on the Internet gave us a hint: buy your beans from Indian supermarkets. After a 50 mile-drive, we found them at an Indian grocer in a barren strip mall. The pudding conjured up delicious memories from our youth - even C., who never eats sweets, asked for a tiny serving. Ask for Vall Dal - no one knows them as "cutlass beans" in barren stip malls - and apparently no one remembers what an Oldsmobile Cutlass is, either.
