Caramelized Black Pepper Chicken Recipes

Steps:

• In a small bowl, combine the sugar, fish sauce, water, rice vinegar, garlic, ginger, pepper and chiles. Set aside. Heat the canola oil in a large deep pan. Add the shallots and cook until soft (about 3 minutes). Add the cubed chicken pieces and the reserved sauce. Bring to a simmer over high heat. Simmer until the chicken is fully cooked then use a slotted spoon to remove the cooked chicken from the pan. Increase the heat and continue simmering the sauce until it has reduced by half (it should have a syrupy consistency). Add the chicken back into the pan and toss to coat. Garnish with cilantro and serve with rice or veggies. Recipe adapted from Food&Wine.

• 4/17/2020 NOTE: After making, I believe the recipe needs improvement. Follow as advised, but once the chicken is nearly cooked through, have ready 1 tablespoon cornstarch mixed with 1 1/2 tablespoons cold water. Add to pan at the last minute and cook for 1 minute or until bubbly with constant stirring. This solution will thicken the sauce nicely. If you're desiring a much deeper brown color, add 1 teaspoon kitchen bouquet before thickening.
