Ca Kho To - Vietnamese Braised Fish In Clay Pot Recipe

Ingredients

How to make it

  • 1. Clean the fish steaks, rinse well and pat dry.
  • 2. Marinade with fish sauce, sugar, pepper, garlic, and shallots for about 1 hr.
  • 3. In pot, heat about 1 Tbs. of cooking oil on medium high and add the marinated fish.
  • 4. Allow to sear and brown for about 2-3 minutes, turn and sear the opposite side for another few minutes.
  • 5. Add the caramel sauce and just enough coconut cream to the level of the fish steaks.
  • 6. Cover and turn to med low heat and allow to simmer for about 25 min (longer if you want it really soft), checking a few times to make sure that it's not reduced too much.
  • 7. Add more coconut cream or caramel sauce if needed. The fish will eventually caramelize and brown, as will the sauce which will be a thick gooey consistency.
  • 8. Taste sauce and make final adjustments with fish sauce or sugar.
  • 9. Turn off heat and add additional fresh cracked pepper, green onions, and optional chili pepper.
  • Serve with steamed rice and green veggies.
