AI-assisted estimate — always verify allergens and dietary suitability yourself.
Step 1
In a heavy pot or clay pot, melt the brown sugar over medium heat, stirring constantly, until it turns a deep amber color, about 4-5 minutes.
Step 2
Carefully add the fish sauce, minced garlic, and ginger to the caramelized sugar and stir to combine; it will bubble and steam.
Step 3
Add about 1/2 cup water and bring the mixture to a simmer.
Step 4
Gently place the catfish pieces into the pot in a single layer.
Step 5
Spoon the caramel sauce over the fish, then reduce heat to low and simmer uncovered for 15-20 minutes, until the fish is cooked through, flakes easily with a fork, and the sauce has thickened.
Step 6
Sprinkle with sliced scallions during the last 2 minutes of cooking.
Step 7
Serve hot over steamed rice.
