Jellied pork is a common dish prepared during the colder months. This dish, which is served cold, primarily consists of pork leg and stir-fried pork skin with wood ear, shiitake, and pepper mushrooms. The collagen in the pig's skin allows the stir-fried meat to become jelly-like after cooling down. Jellied pork is probably best eaten during the cold months. Many people think that a stewed pork leg that was unintentionally left outside in the cold is where jellied pork first originated. Since then, it has become a delicious delicacy that has been passed down from previous generations. Jellied pork is often served with steaming rice.

A meal served in families in the south during Tet. Photo by Kho Qua Deo Every morning and evening from the 1st to the 3rd day of the Lunar New Year (in some places until the 4th), southerners often cook rice with other dishes to offer to their ancestors. But braised pork with duck eggs and stuffed bitter melon soup are two must-have dishes on these days. According to cultural researcher Nguyen Thanh Loi, no one knows exactly when braised pork with duck eggs and stuffed bitter melon soup first appeared on the Lunar New Year's days in southerner Vietnam. However, each of these dishes has a significant meaning during Tet meals.

Poor families consider these luxurious dishes," said Loi. "They have to save up for the whole year until the Lunar New Year to purchase new clothes and eat dishes made … [Read more...] about Braised pork and stuffed bitter melon soup at Tet: The meaning behind them

Exercising right to self-defense while helping friends According to historical documents, just right after winning the resistance war against the U.S. imperialists, in April, 1975, the Cambodian people continued to fall into a big tragedy caused by the Pol Pot gang’s brutal genocide policy. The proof was that in just three years, eight months, and 20 days, more than three million innocent Cambodians were killed by the Pol Pot regime. Recalling the then “hung in a single hair” situation, in a historical documentary, titled “Marching Towards National Salvation,” Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen said that he and many Cambodians considered Vietnam the only country to help the Cambodians since it had stood side by side in fighting common invaders for national independence and freedom of each country. Not only did the Pol Pot band push the Cambodian people to the brink of extinction, but also waged a bloody war, infringing on the sovereignty and territory of Vietnam in the Southwest. … [Read more...] about Victory of solidarity during hard time
