Melt the sugar in a pan until it turns deep amber.
Add the chicken and let the caramel coat the pieces.
Add the fish sauce, crushed garlic, black pepper, salt, and water.
Keep the chicken over low heat until the sauce thickens and the center is cooked.
Boil and drain the rice separately, or cook it by steaming.
Place the chicken over the rice and spoon the dark sauce over it.
Check the black pepper and serve hot.
💡 Tip: Moving the caramel into the pan before it gets too dark keeps the sauce from turning bitter.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve hot with cucumber slices and lime on the side.
