In the Vietnamese language, Thịt means "meat" and Kho is a Vietnamese cooking technique.[2]
Although it is a familiar part of an everyday meal amongst the Vietnamese in Southern Vietnam,[3] it is also one of the traditional dishes during Vietnamese New Year.[4] Before it is served for general consumption, the food is offered to deceased ancestors or family members[5] on altars.
In Vietnam, rice is commonly served alongside this dish.[6] It is similar to tau yu bak (豆油肉), a traditional Hokkien dish.
