This year Tết Lunar New Year is on Tuesday, 2/17/2026. One week away!
Every year, I look forward to hosting my annual Tết Lunar New Year party with my friends to share my family’s traditions, food, and customs. The centerpiece of the celebration is always a large pot of hearty, tender Thịt Kho Trứng, a traditional Vietnamese dish of caramelized pork and eggs, surrounded by a variety of festive foods that are commonly enjoyed during Tết.
Thịt Kho Trứng is simple to prepare, deeply flavorful, and incredibly comforting, making it perfect for bringing everyone together. More than just a delicious meal, Thịt Kho Trứng carries rich symbolism and cultural meaning. It represents family, unity, and prosperity for the year ahead, creating a meaningful connection to tradition and making it an essential dish for Vietnamese families during Lunar New Year celebrations.
