Pour in the vinegar, soy sauce, and chili sauce. Let it cook for a minute, then add the chicken stock and tomato paste. Stir everything together and let it simmer for 5-7 minutes until the sauce thickens.

Step 5

Once the sauce has thickened, stir in the chopped coriander leaves and take the pan off the heat.
