Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Pineapple juice
- 0.5 cup Rice vinegar
- 0.25 cup Ketchup
- 0.5 cup Brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon Soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons Cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons Water
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Ginger powder
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, combine pineapple juice, rice vinegar, ketchup, brown sugar, soy sauce, garlic powder, and ginger powder.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and whisk the ingredients until the sugar completely dissolves and the mixture is smooth, about 3-5 minutes.
In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch and water together to create a slurry.
Slowly pour the cornstarch slurry into the saucepan while continuously whisking to prevent lumps.
Continue cooking the sauce over medium heat, stirring frequently, until it thickens to your desired consistency, about 4-5 minutes.

Serve as a dipping sauce for egg rolls, spring rolls, chicken nuggets, or drizzle over stir-fried dishes.
