Ga Kho Gung using European chicken

Ingredients:

• chicken meat, 750g
• garlic 2 cloves, crushed
• shallot onion, 1 piece, finely chopped
• ginger, a 4 cm piece, thinly sliced
• oil, 1 tbsp
• sugar, 1.5 tbsp
• chili peppers, 2 pieces, thinly sliced
• fish sauce, 1/3 cup

Mix the chicken pieces with fish sauce, shallots, and garlic. Marinate for at least 30 minutes. In a thick-bottomed pot, heat the oil and sugar. Cook for 1-2 minutes, until the sugar caramelizes to a dark amber color. Put the marinated chicken in the sugar and mix well. Cover with a lid and cook covered for 6-8 minutes. Add water to ¼ the height of the chicken in the pot. Add ¾ of the ginger and cook for a few more minutes. Finally, add the peppers and cook for a minute. Serve over rice with cucumber slices and cilantro leaves.
