ingredients

2 tablespoons sugar, PLUS"PLUS" means this ingredient in addition to the one on the next line, often with divided uses
2 teaspoons sugar
1/3 cup hot water, plus
1/4 cup hot water
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 thai red chiles, chopped
OR
1 teaspoon crushed red pepper
1 clove garlic, minced
1 piece (4 inch size) fresh ginger, peeled and cut into slivers
1 pound skinless boneless chicken thighs, cut into 3-by-1-inch pieces
1 1/2 tablespoon asian fish sauce
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 small onion, cut into thin wedges
2 scallions, cut into 2-inch lengths
6 sprigs cilantro, cut into 1-inch lengths

directions

In a small heavy saucepan, cook 2 tablespoons of the sugar over moderate heat until bubbling and beginning to brown around the edges, 4 minutes. Gradually stir in 1/3 cup of the hot water and simmer for 3 minutes to dissolve the caramel. Remove from the heat.

Heat the oil in a medium Chinese clay pot or in a casserole. Add the chiles, garlic and half of the ginger and stir-fry over moderate heat until fragrant, about 20 seconds. Add the chicken, fish sauce, salt and the remaining 2 teaspoons of sugar and stir until the chicken turns white, 3 to 4 minutes.

Add the onion wedges, the remaining 1/4 cup of hot water and the caramel sauce and bring to a boil. Cover, reduce the heat to low and simmer until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce is slightly thickened, about 8 minutes.

Add the scallions and cook for 3 minutes longer. Stir in the remaining ginger and remove the pot from the heat. Garnish with the cilantro and serve.
