There aren't many dishes that can compete with it on these criteria.  \n\n\n\nMy express caramel pork recipe\n\n\n\nThe ingredients for caramel chicken\n\n\n\nDark soy sauce: If you're not sure what it is, come read my article on the subject. It can be replaced with light soy sauce in this case, but you'll lose some flavor and especially color \n\n\n\nFish sauce: It's widely used in Vietnamese or Thai cuisine, also called nuoc mam. I generally recommend Phu Quoc but for this recipe, you don't necessarily need a high-quality one.  \n\n\n\nThe quality one is rather for recipes like bo bun or nem sauce. Buy it on Amazon. \n\n\n\nTips for successful caramel chicken\n\n\n\nServe over sushi rice: The combo of the caramel sauce with the sticky rice is just divine, trust me!\n\n\n\nWait for it to caramelize properly. The time will depend on your stovetop, but believe me, it's the only really, really important step for caramel chicken. Caramel chicken without caramel is not caramel chicken. Some thicken it with cornstarch, but remember one thing: thickening is cheating   \n\n\n\nCaramel chicken about to be finished\n\n\n\nAdd a spicy note by adding Korean gochujang towards the end of cooking. \n\n\n\nYou can also add some vegetables (onion and garlic) by saut\u00e9ing them beforehand before melting the sugar, and add them back a few minutes after putting in the meat. \n\n\n\nIf you don't want to bother adding vegetables to the recipe, you can make my Cantonese rice, my express Cantonese rice or my fried rice better than at the restaurant. \n\n\n\nSome nice fried rice\n\n\n\nDon't want rice? Serve it with my stir-fried noodles with vegetables like at the restaurant \n\n\n\nThe famous vegetable noodles like at the restaurant\n\n\n\n\n\n\tCaramel Chicken\n\t\t\n\t\tA delicious Asian caramel chicken recipe\t\n\t\n\t\tWok\t\n\t\n\t\t350 g chicken thighs (cut into pieces)4 tablespoons   of sugarSauce60 ml water1 tablespoon   dark soy sauce1 tablespoon   of fish sauce1 tablespoon of sugar\t\n\t\n\t\tIn a bowl, combine sauce ingredients.In a wok over medium-high heat, melt the sugar with a little oilAs soon as it has turned yellow (caramelized, that is), add the meat.
