• •1.5 lbs chicken thighs, cut into bite-sized pieces
• •3 tablespoons fish sauce
• •2 tablespoons sugar
• •4 cloves garlic, minced

• •2 medium onions, cut into chunks
• •2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• •1/2 cup water
• •2 dried red chilies
• •1 tablespoon soy sauce

3. 3Add chicken pieces and stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until lightly browned on the edges.
4. 4Pour in fish sauce, soy sauce, sugar, dried chilies, and water, then stir well to combine.
5. 5Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 25-30 minutes until chicken is tender.
6. 6Remove the lid, increase heat to medium, and cook for another 3-5 minutes until the sauce reduces and thickens slightly.
7. 7Taste and adjust seasonings as needed, then garnish with chopped scallions and serve over steamed rice.

💡 Caramelize the sugar deeply for gà kho gừng before adding chicken; that dark caramel contributes savoury bitterness as well as sweetness to the ginger sauce.
