Caramelized Black Pepper Chicken

Nice flavor but I ended up with more of a soup than a caramelized stir fry. I cut back on the sugar making me think the water was unnecessary. Also, only a restaurant wok can get hot enough to do this right.

Can you use something other than fish sauce?

!/2 cup Brown sugar to 1 lb of Chicken and less than a cup of liquid?

Absolutely loved it!

Followed the recipe, it came out really sweet, and the chicken thigh was rubbery. I should have sauteed the chicken first, not dumped it in the sauce to cook. Also, scaled way back on the sugar.

Fast, easy and amazingly good. The only downside is the pungent fish sauce that makes your kitchen stink. Still worth it though.
