Ingredients
- 240 ml Pineapple juice
- 60 ml Rice vinegar
- 60 ml Ketchup
- 15 ml Soy sauce
- 75 grams Brown sugar
- 2 pieces Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon Fresh ginger, grated
- 15 grams Cornstarch
- 30 ml Water
Directions
Step 1
In a medium saucepan, combine the pineapple juice, rice vinegar, ketchup, soy sauce, and brown sugar. Stir well to dissolve the sugar.
Step 2
Add the minced garlic and grated ginger to the saucepan. Mix thoroughly to evenly distribute the flavors.
Step 3
Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally.
Step 4
In a small bowl, combine the cornstarch and water to create a slurry. Mix until the cornstarch is fully dissolved with no lumps.
Step 5
Gradually pour the cornstarch slurry into the saucepan while stirring constantly. This will thicken the sauce.
Step 6
Let the sauce simmer for an additional 2-3 minutes, or until it reaches your desired thickness. Stir frequently to prevent clumping.
Step 7
Remove the saucepan from heat and allow the sauce to cool slightly before using. The sauce will thicken further as it cools.
Step 8
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
