Thit Kho To

For the caramel sauce, bring 50g of sugar and 2 tablespoons of water to a boil in a saucepan and reduce until the sugar turns golden yellow. Immediately add about 200ml of water and bring to a boil until the sugar has dissolved. Reduce over low heat until syrupy. Cut the meat into thin strips, then add it to the caramelized sugar, season with fish sauce (nuoc mam), add a little water if necessary, and bring to a boil. Reduce the liquid again until syrupy and stir in the pepper just before the end of cooking. Cook bell peppers or other vegetables in a wok with garlic, nuoc mam, and salt. Transfer to a preheated plate and arrange the meat on top of the vegetables. Thit Kho To is also perfect for summer rolls!
