When the sauce is glossy and thick, add the scallions and serve the ga kho with rice.
💡 Tip: Fish sauce is available in Asian markets in Turkey; if you cannot find it, do not simply increase the soy sauce, a little anchovy paste is a better way to preserve the balance.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve ga kho with plain rice, cucumber slices, and lemony greens if desired.
