    This was delicious! I added a little rice vinegar, and cornstarch because of the extra liquid. I also didn't let the pan get hot enough at first for sugar, it still worked fine, but it took a while longer. Overall, it was delicious!

    Vietnamese Ginger Chicken (Ga Kho),This is a basic Vietnamese dish that can be made with any type of meat and most seafood, the variation comes in pairing the protein with the herb or spice. For example, chicken or fish is paired with ginger, shrimp or pork is paired with green onions, and beef with garlic. It is often served with steamed rice, and a couple of other dishes and a soup for family dinners. All dishes are served at the same time. However, soup is usually the last dish you eat, to “wash down” your meal.,This was delicious! I added a little rice vinegar, and cornstarch because of the extra liquid. I also didn’t let the pan get hot enough at first for sugar, it still worked fine, but it took a while longer. Overall, it was delicious!

    4
    Done

    Reduce Heat to a Simmer. Cook Until Liquid in the Pan Is Reduced to Half. Sauce Should Be Brown and Thick. About 10 Minutes If You're Using Boned in Whole Thighs. If You're Using Boneless, Skinless Chicken the Cooking Time Is Reduced to About 6 Minutes. Over Cooking Will Make the Meat Tough.
