This works just as well with pork. It's not overly sweet, but wonderfully different. Great grilled as well. If the fish sauce is too strong, replace a tablespoon of fish sauce with water. Prep time does not include marinade time. If you don;t want to marinade, just use it as a stir-fry sauce.

Ingredients

  • 1/3 cup white sugar
  • 1/4 cup fish sauce, at room temperature
  • 4 shallot, fienly minced
  • 1/4-1/2 teaspoon white pepper or black pepper
  • 250 g chicken breast, thinly sliced

    • Directions

    1. 1
      Cook the sugar in a small heavy saucepan over low heat, stirring constantly, until brown. It will smoke slightly.
    2. 2
      Immediately remove the pan from the heat and stir the fish sauce into the caramel, being careful to guard against splattering (the mixture will bubble vigorously).
    3. 3
      Return the mixture to low heat and gently boil, stirring occasionally, until the sugar is completely dissolved, about 3 minutes.
    4. 4
      Add the shallots and ground pepper to taste; stir to combine.
    5. 5
      Cover chicken with marinade for at least 1/2 hr, preferably more.
    6. 6
      Grill or barbecue or stir-fry for about 3 minutes.
    7. 7
      NOTE: Cool this sauce thoroughly before using. If cold food is added to a caramel sauce that is hot, the sugar will harden instantly and you'll end up with a dish full of candy chips.
