And there's our pot of thit kho tau. If you want a change, swap your usual braise for this soy sauce version – we guarantee the rice pot will be empty before you know it.
Turn off the heat once the meat is cooked, ladle it into a bowl and get ready to welcome the new year with the family. Thit kho tau with hot steamed rice is delicious and warming, soothing away the cold winter outside.
