Instructions
- Cube the chicken thighs into bite-sized pieces. Season generously with salt.

- In the same pan you cooked the chicken in, add a splash of oil then cook the the garlic, ginger and red chilli (if using) for a minute until fragrant.
- Pour in the coconut cream and sugar. Bring to a simmer then add the soy sauce, fish sauce and rice vinegar.
- Allow the sauce to simmer and reduce slightly then add the chicken and any of its resting juices back in.
- Cook for 7-10 minutes until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce has thickened slightly.
