Easy Vietnamese Ginger Chicken!

Ga Kho Gừng: Vietnamese Ginger Chicken with Caramel Sauce

The magic lies in its caramel sauce, where sugar + oil (or water) is slowly caramelized. This sauce infuses the marinated chicken with a rich, sweet-savory flavor, creating a delightful harmony of tastes. Ga Kho Gừng is a must-try for anyone seeking a simple but delicious meal!

INGREDIENTS
~1 lb boneless skinless chicken thighs, 1.5” pieces

marinade:
2.5 tbsp fish sauce
2.5 tbsp sugar
1 tsp chicken bouillon powder
1 tsp granulated garlic powder
1 tsp onion powder
1/2 tsp salt (to taste)
1/4 tsp black pepper

caramel:
1 tbsp brown sugar (sub white sugar but it will take longer to caramelize)
1/2 tbsp oil

aromatics:
1.5” ginger knob, julienned
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 medium shallot, minced oil (optional)
oil

1. Mix all ingredients for marinade in a large bowl, add chicken, coat evenly.
3. To caramelize sugar, heat pan on medium-low heat. After 1 minute, add oil, then add sugar on top of the oil, mix until the oil coats all of the sugar, stirring occasionally.
4. Add oil on empty side of the pan, then add ginger strips and garlic (and shallots if using) - stirring occasionally.
5. When sugar turns a burgundy color, slowly add chicken with marinade (beware oil might splatter a bit), give it a good mix. Turn heat up to medium. Cook and stir for 5 minutes. Add a tablespoon of water and continue to stir/cook for another 10 minutes or until chicken is done.
6. Serve with rice & cucumbers/veggies
