  2. Season chicken thighs with salt and spread ginger slices over top. Arrange thighs in an even layer in a large, shallow, heat-proof bowl. Sprinkle white parts of green onions over top; pour in coconut juice and water. Place the bowl onto the steam rack in the pot.

  3. Cover the pot and bring water to a boil. Reduce the heat to a simmer and cook until chicken is no longer pink at the bone and the juices run clear, about 35 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted near the bone should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).

  4. While the chicken is cooking, combine Thai chiles, cilantro stems, garlic, ginger, fish sauce, vinegar, lime juice, and palm sugar in a food processor; pulse until mixture is well combined. Transfer sauce to a medium bowl and stir in green parts of green onions.
