VIETNAMESE FISH SIMMERED IN CARAMEL SAUCE (CA KHO TO)

Vietnamese Fish Simmered in Caramel Sauce (Ca Kho To) image

This is one of my favorite dishes at a local Vietnamese restaurant. I searched around the internet for the recipe and this is what a came up with. I just made this tonight and am quite surprised how close it taste to the restaurant version. It is normally made in a clay pot but a 2-quart saucepan will suffice. Beware, fish sauce is a very pungent ingredient.
