VIETNAMESE BRAISED & CARAMELIZED CATFISH (Cá KHO)
Nothing reminds me more of traditional Vietnamese home cooking than caramelized catfish. Gently braised in fish sauce and coconut juice, this classic sweet and savory side dish is the taste of home.

Steps:
- Marinate catfish steaks with fish sauce and sugar for at least 30 minutes.
- In a clay pot or skillet, heat vegetable oil on medium-high. Sprinkle a thin layer of sugar (1 tablespoon) onto the oil and heat until the sugar caramelizes to an amber color. Immediately, add shallot and garlic and saute until fragrant (about 15 seconds).
- Add marinated catfish and all its marinade liquid, if any, into the skillet. Flip catfish on all sides to evenly coat with aromatics and caramel sauce (color will darken while braising).
- Add coconut soda and gently cook on a low simmer for a total of 20 minutes, partially covered. At the halfway mark, flip the catfish so that the top gets a chance to absorb the braising liquid. If you find that the fish its too delicate to flip, spoon braising liquid over the catfish instead.
- Top with green onions and black pepper when ready to serve.

Steps:
- Heat the vegetable oil in a claypot or medium fry pan over moderate heat. Add the garlic and shallots. Stir until fragrant, about 2 to 3 minutes, and add the catfish pieces. Cook until they turn almost white, about 2 minutes. Add the caramel sauce and gently stir for 1 more minute until the fish absorbs the sauce. Add the fish sauce and chicken stock and reduce heat. Simmer uncovered until the sauce has slightly caramelized, 12 to 15 minutes. Remove from heat and serve right out of claypot. Garnish with green onions and black pepper.

- Turn the pieces so they're evenly coated with the sauce.
- Reduce the heat to a soft simmer. Cover and cook for 5 m inutes, until the catfish is firm and almost done.
- Uncover, and continue to simmer for another 2 to 3 minutes, until the sauce thickens slightly.
- Remove from heat and garnish with the onion, cilantro and pepper. Serve right in the clay pot.
- You do not need to use aclaypot, and iron pot will work too.

- In a small skillet, heat 1/4 inch of oil until shimmering. Add the ginger matchsticks and fry over moderate heat, stirring, until browned and crisp, about 2 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the fried ginger to paper towels to drain.
- In a small saucepan, combine the granulated sugar with 1 tablespoon of water. Cook over moderate heat until a deep amber caramel forms, 3 to 4 minutes. Whisk in another 2 tablespoons of water and cook over low heat until the caramel is dissolved, 1 minute. Add the fish sauce, palm sugar, black pepper and 3/4 cup of the coconut water and simmer over moderate heat until the caramel sauce is reduced to 1/2 cup, 3 to 5 minutes.
- In a large enameled cast-iron casserole, heat the 2 tablespoons of oil until shimmering. Add the ginger rounds, shallots, chiles and garlic and stir-fry over moderately high heat until the shallots are golden, about 3 minutes. Add the caramel sauce and scallions and simmer until the sauce is reduced by half, 3 to 5 minutes. Nestle the catfish fillets in the sauce and cook over moderately high heat, turning once, until caramelized and cooked through, about 6 minutes. Using a spatula, transfer the catfish fillets to a serving platter.
- Add the remaining 1/4 cup of coconut water to the casserole and cook over low heat, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom, until the sauce is hot, about 3 minutes. Spoon the caramel sauce over the catfish. Scatter the fried ginger matchsticks and cilantro over the fish and serve with steamed rice.
