Steps:
- For the caramel sauce: In a medium saucepan, melt the sugar with fish sauce over medium-low heat, about 10 to 12 minutes.
- For the chicken: Heat the oil in a shallow claypot or sauté pan over medium heat. Add the shallots, chilies, ginger, ½ cup of caramel sauce, and plenty of freshly ground black pepper; bring to a boil. Continue cooking to reduce slightly, about 4-5 minutes, then add the chicken. Turn the heat down and simmer, stirring occasionally until the chicken is cooked through, about 20 minutes.
- Garnish with cilantro and serve with steamed jasmine rice (optional).
