Many Chinese lived in major port cities in Kyushu, such as Nagasaki; Likewise, many Japanese people live in Hangzhou. The Chinese brought Dongpo pork to Japan and the Japanese modified the recipe and became kakuni. In the 17th century in China, the transition from Ming to Qing (1618-1683) led to a wave of Chinese people in southern China who were loyal to the Ming Dynasty (China) and did not submit to the Qing Dynasty (Manchuria) leaving their homeland. immigrants to Southeast Asia, including Vietnam. The dish "tau yu bak" (豆油肉 - braised meat in soy sauce) was spread to Vietnam by the Fujianese people and was modified by the Vietnamese in terms of seasoning, that is, using fish sauce (Southern people only use coconut water). The Vietnamese word "tàu" in the word "braised" refers to the braised dish of the Chinese people. All Chinese Hokkien tau yu bak, Japanese kakuni and Vietnamese or Cambodian duck egg braised meat have in common the use of poultry eggs.[citation needed]
