This recipe is from the book I am working from this month called, "Quick & Easy Vietnamese Home Cooking for Everyone" by Andre Nguyen and Yukiko Moriyama.
I used some kind of Vietnamese white fish, (sorry, can't remember the name) and followed this easy to make recipe, except for the 1 T. of syrup that is called for at the end; I forgot that! Well, it didn't matter, we gave this dish a 10! It just melts in your mouth and is so tasty! I didn't have a clay pot, (I broke the one and only that I had) so I just did the whole thing in a frying pan, then put a lid on for the simmer.

P.S. I forgot to add that we also had steamed jasmine rice, Sharon's cucumber salad, and spring rolls. Then, as if we needed more...I made Laura's butterscotch pie for dessert! Fantastic!
