Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons Rice vinegar
- 3 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 3 tablespoons Ketchup
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
- 1 cup Pineapple juice
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Fresh ginger, grated
- 2 teaspoons Cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons Cold water
Instructions
In a medium mixing bowl, combine rice vinegar, soy sauce, ketchup, honey, brown sugar, and pineapple juice. Stir until the sugar dissolves and the mixture is well combined.
Add minced garlic and grated ginger to the sauce mixture, stirring to incorporate their flavors evenly.
In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch and cold water to make a slurry. Stir until smooth with no lumps.
Heat a saucepan over medium heat. Pour in the sweet and sour mixture and bring it to a gentle simmer.
Once the mixture starts to simmer, slowly stir in the cornstarch slurry. Continue stirring to prevent any clumping.
Cook the sauce for 2-3 minutes, or until it thickens to your desired consistency.
Remove the saucepan from heat and let the sauce cool slightly. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
Use the sauce immediately for your stir fry, or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
