C/w Nana: Lao Caramelized Pork Stew (ຕົ້ມເຄັມໝູ == Tohm Khem Moo)

- Опубліковано 8 лют 2025
- Tohm Khem is a stew made with caramelized meat. In this video I show how to make it using pork, but you can use any meat you want.
This dish came from China as "five spice stew." Every country in the area has there own variation. The Thai call it 'pah lo' (พะโล้).

6 cloves garlic
1 whole ginger
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 cup sugar
1/4 cup maggi
1/4 cup soy sauce
1 tbsp fish sauce
4 cups water
I wish you could have a written ingredients list to go along with the youtube video. I love tohm khem and is excited to try your recipe!
Looking forward to making this, i only got to eat this dish when I went to the bahn boun or wat when I was younger, it's been a little over a decade since I've had this. My mom never made it at home, maybe she didn't know how, but when I go visit, I'll definately make this for her and show her that I do have Laos cooking skills, thank you!!!!
Mine turned out great!!! Thank you for this Lao comfort food video! Keep them coming!
My daughter’s favorite dish. Thank you for sharing Nana!
WoW!!! so good. this is the first Lao Channel cooking i have ever seen. Cheers.
Sabaidee Mae pah around 3:34-3:37 minutes in your video caught my attention towards stirring the pot something dark and close to black on one of the meat. I was hoping nothing was written on the meat itself!!I love u nana!! Thank you for everything!! ❤️
Thank you, thank you, I love this! My mom doesn't make it often, now I can make it! I love you, thank you so much for showing us how to make foods we grew up eating!
This is my favorite dish when I was a kid. I totally forgot about it. Now I have my own kid. I am going to cook this for my daughter as soon as I get all the ingredients, thanks :)
I made it and it was very good.. have not made it in years since mine is so very bad…I remember my mom using catfish with it and remember being so so good.. thank you..
Going to make this today..will post pics of the finishing dish..your the best Nana
Tom Angela Khamsisavatdy Thanks for following and I'm glad this turned out good for you. I know you already shared on FB.
Thank you Nana! I can’t wait to try this, looks amazing!
Your kids are so cute!!! Making this today and just wanted to see how you make it. Thanks for the tutorial!!!
Can't wait to make this today! Ty Nana for sharing your videos! My mom lives so far away and gets a bit hard to ask her how to make our cultural foods. This dish has always been my personal favorite. 🤗 kaup jai lai again for sharing the ingredients, now off to the market☺️
You're welcome! Just remember that most of my recipes yield a lot, so if you are not cooking for a lot of people, you will need to scale down the amount of each ingredient. Have fun!
That's a great looking caramelized pork, Nana. Looks just like my mom's (minus the ginger). I'm curious if it would be too much trouble to ask for you to list the ingredients in the detail box (below your video where it says "Show More"? I find it so much easier to follow along or copy/write down when the ingredients are listed out there. Thanks for taking the time to do this for us! Have a Happy New Year!
Doodah Gurl why don’t you just watch the video and write it down as you listen? 🤦🏻♀️
Girl this is the right way to cook sweet pork. I watched so many videos done wrong!

I love this dish, think I'm going to make it today! We usually use coconut soda in it too, gives it a nice fragrance as well as sweetness.
Sabaidee Na Sao! Thank you for sharing this! I really wanted to learn how to make Thom Khem but my mom very rarely makes it. And between my cousins I'm the one who likes to cook so I'll try out your recipe and then share it with my cousins!! Kob jai lai lai!!!!!

Here in the Philippines we have similar style of cooking called "Adobo" it differs from one region to another region. One version of adobo is cooking pork or chicken or combination into a stew w/ garlic, ginger, soy sauce, vinegar, brown sugar, pepper corn & leaves, water w/ hard boiled quail's egg (MSG is also optional). The garlic is first toasted in small amount of oil then the meat is stir fried until brown then other ingredients are added except the vinegar & the eggs then let it cook in low heat until the liquid sauce bubbles into a boil for 15 mins then add the eggs & vinegar last then let it boil again for another 15 mins.
Lester Laoagan I have some relatives who are Filipino and I have tried their adobo. It's very interesting to try different styles. Thanks for sharing.
Your welcome madam
This is my favorite food, this is how my mom does it too. It's comfort food for us especially now it's cold weather. One time we made with quail eggs too. And it lasts a few days in the fridge if you don't want to cook during the week.
Thank you!! Always wanted my mom to make this.
This recipe and your channel feels like home for me

My favorite dish. I like to add star anise and oster sauce.
Should I add the star anise after the water is poured in?
Great video. Thanks for sharing!
My Thom Khem was delicious, thanks to you!
+Monique Nanthavongdouangsy awesome! you're welcome.
This was one of my favorite dishes as a kid!! But I always thought there was 5 spice in it. Thanks for the recipe! Can't wait to cook!
Oh I see what you said at end of video lol I love the spice so I think I will add to it. But how much would you suggest?
I don't like to use the extra spices. You can try adding a little at a time to see how you like the taste
I love your cooking

1/4 cup maggi
1/4 cup soy sauce

Hello nana I'm a new follower but I love your videos, and I can't wait to try to make this one day but, I wanted to know if you have a video of a soup That is made of short ribs and I don't know if I'm spelling it correctly but I think it's ohm. Please let me know if not would you be able to make a video of your recipe for me. Thank you again nana 😊💕
I have a chicken version that you can switch with short ribs. ua-cam.com/video/J0GFTVi2VQU/v-deo.html
Love the video. What kind of pot do you have
YUMMY!!!
Thank you for sharing this! Can I use honey in this recipe instead of the white sugar?
Kop chai der!
🔥🔥🔥
Would it be okay if i didnt add thin soy sauce?
hungry.
Can you use palm sugar ?
yes, you can use palm sugar also.
I posted a picture of your page on Facebook group Lao Asian cooking to where I got my recipe
Does this work with cow?
♡♡♡♡♡
Can I use silver swan soy sauce instead of black soy sauce if I don’t have it on hand ?
Regina Xaysongkharm I've never used Silver Swan. I think it will make it taste more like Philippino adobo.
How would this do in a pressure cooker like Instant Pot? How much time. Also if using chicken, to you go a shorter amount of Time?
Chris Batta Pork only.
Chris Batta I make a variation of this in my instant pot! Use the meat/stew setting and adjust the pressure to high. Add all the spices and seasoning with water after you caramelize your sugar in your IP. For pork belly i set the time for 45-50 mins (sealing) and it is very tender. Definitely cut the time in half for chicken. After venting, add the eggs for 5 mins to get some color. Good luck :)
Can I use palm sugar or no
jawn doe I have never tried with palm sugar but I have heard some people use it.
What kind of pork did you use besides pork belly? How many pounds total meat? Thank you.
Where did you get the wok?
Nana, I live in Bay Area. Do you know where I can buy SOM PHA (picketed mud carp fillet). I can't find in ranch 99. They usually come int the package. I used to buy it in Florida.
I have seen the pickled mud carp fillet at SF Market and Lion Supermarket, but can't remember how long ago.
Is chicken stock okay to use instead of water?
NannersNummies Pork only.
You can also substite the water with coconut soda.
what was that purple stuff on the pork?
Can you use brownsugar?
ACLHIP HOPMUSIC brown sugar doesn't work very well for me with this recipe
@@CookingwithNana Thank you for Answering my Question.I Made it with White Sugar,didn't risk it.Turned out Amazing 🙏
How did you get your eggs peeled perfectly like that? I consider myself a pretty good cook but I cannot seem to hard boil a perfect egg!! Help me!! :-/
Tum V After boiling the eggs, remove the eggs and shock them with cold water. Let the eggs cool down to room temp before peeling but don't let them get too cold.
Can you show us how to make chili sauce for stir fry?
TxhobTxhawj Heev You might try C/w Nana: Stir-fried Wide Noodles (ຂົ້ວໝີ່ເສັ້ນໃຫຍ່ == Kua Mii Sen Yai) and some of the wings videos.
Is black soy sauce the same as dark soy sauce?
Peter Sour Black soy sauce is thicker and sweeter than dark soy sauce. Here is the brand of black soy sauce I used. www.thaifoodandtravel.com/ingredients/soyblack.html
Thank you. Just got home with that exact one. Is there a trick to opening the bottle?
Peter Sour you have to cut the tip with a knife. Then you have to find your own way to cover it when not in use. I just use plastic wrap to cover it.
Peter Sour
Is this sweet pork?
XoxoCm yes
Can you do this recipe but using chicken instead? Video please!
It's pretty much the same. Just use chicken instead of pork.
Can you please make some pho papaya salad.
