Cooking Tips for Braised Lamb Chops Hot Pot Bottom

Saying the color of sugar is a technical job, whether it is braised or stewed, I have always liked the color and texture created by using sugar. However, I always fail to control it well. Either the sugar will be burnt and bitter, or the heat will be too light and the color will not change. Slowly try to sum up some experience, just heat the pot, cool the oil, low heat, and slowly simmer until the white sugar is red and bubbly.
