We had this the other night. It's even good left over!
3 T. canola oil
5 cloves garlic, minced
1/4 c. cold water
1/3 c. sugar
2 c. boiling water
1/4 c. fish sauce
2 lb. catfish fillets, sliced crosswise into 2" pieces
1 c. cilantro leaves, loosely packed
3 scallions, green only, thinly sliced on the bias
1. Mix oil and garlic in small bowl and set aside. Put 1/4 c. water in 12" nonstick skillet and sprinkle sugar evenly into water. Cook over medium heat, gently swirling occasionally - do not stir - till sugar melts and looks caramel color, about 10 min.
2. Stir in garlic mixture and cook for 30 seconds. Take off heat. Slowly whisk in 2 c. water. Return skillet to medium heat and stir in fish sauce and pepper.
3. Lay catfish pieces in skillet without overlapping and turn to coat. Bring to simmer and reduce to medium-low. Cook uncovered about 25 minutes. Serve topped with cilantro and scallions.
