Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons Ketchup
- 3 tablespoons White vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Soy sauce
- 4 tablespoons Brown sugar
- 1 cup Water
- 2 teaspoons Cornstarch
- 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 1 teaspoon Ginger (grated)
Instructions
In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of water to create a smooth slurry. Set aside.
In a medium saucepan, combine the ketchup, white vinegar, soy sauce, brown sugar, water, minced garlic, and grated ginger.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and stir the mixture until the sugar dissolves completely, about 2-3 minutes.
Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer and let it cook for another 2 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
While stirring constantly, slowly pour the cornstarch slurry into the saucepan.
Continue to cook and stir the sauce until it thickens to your desired consistency, about 2-3 minutes.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and let the sauce cool slightly before serving.
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
