Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Pineapple juice
- 0.5 cup Soy sauce
- 0.25 cup Brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 1 tablespoon Rice vinegar
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 1 teaspoon Ginger
- 1.5 tablespoons Cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons Water
- 0.5 teaspoon Sesame oil (optional)
Instructions
In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the pineapple juice, soy sauce, brown sugar, honey, and rice vinegar.
Peel and finely mince the garlic cloves, then add them to the saucepan.
Peel and grate the ginger (or use pre-minced ginger) and stir it into the mixture.
Heat the saucepan over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the mixture begins to simmer.
In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch and water together to form a slurry.
Gradually whisk the cornstarch slurry into the simmering sauce to thicken it. Continue stirring to avoid lumps.
Simmer the sauce for an additional 2-3 minutes until it reaches your desired consistency.
Remove the sauce from heat. If desired, stir in sesame oil for extra flavor.
Allow the sauce to cool slightly before using. Serve it warm or store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
