Kosher salt
1 Tbs.Vegetable Oil
1 1/2 lbsboneless skinless chicken thighs; trimmed and cut into 1-inch strips

Meanwhile, heat the oil in a heavy-duty 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken, season with ? tsp. each salt and pepper, and cook, stirring occasionally, until light golden-brown, 4 to 6 minutes.
Add the garlic and cook, stirring occasionally, 2 more minutes. Add the vinegar, soy sauce, bay leaf, and pepper.
Bring to a boil, reduce the heat to medium low, and simmer until the liquid reduces by about one-quarter, 8 to 10 minutes. Discard the bay leaf.
Just before serving, uncover the rice and fluff it with a fork. Serve the chicken and sauce over the rice.
