    Vietnamese Fish Simmered in Caramel Sauce (Ca Kho To),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.,Turned out better than I expected. No where near close to what my mom used to make but does the job!,Excellent. Just introduced to Vietnam dishes and this one tastes just like the one I have enjoyed many times now. Was a bit salty so I added a little more sugar to balance it. Will become part of my repertoire.
