Ca Kho To (Vietnamese Caramelized Fish)

1. 1

   Place the oil and sugar in a 1-quart clay pot or dutch oven and heat over moderate heat.

2. 2

   When the mixture begins to turn light yellow, add the garlic and stir until it turns dark golden (but not black), about 3 to 4 minutes. Add the water and fish sauce and bring to a boil.

3. 3

   Add the catfish and turn the pieces so they are evenly coated. Simmer until the fish is done and the sauce is thickened, about 12 to 15 minutes.

4. 4

   Remove the clay pot from the heat and garnish with scallions, cilantro, and black pepper. Serve immediately from the clay pot.
