Caramelized Garlic Fish Recipe • 5★ • 20 min
Mild white fish becomes deeply savory in this quick one-pot meal inspired by cá kho tộ, which the chef Mai Pham described as the “one dish that best represents Vietnamese home cooking” in her 2001 cookbook “Pleasures of the Vietnamese Table” (HarperCollins). Originally from the south of the country, the dish of freshwater snakehead fish (cá lóc) is braised (kho) in a claypot (tộ) with a blend of sugar melted to a dark brown, garlic and fish sauce.
