1/2 cup ketchup
1/2 cup rice vinegar (or white vinegar)
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup pineapple juice (optional for extra flavor)
2 tbsp soy sauce
1 tbsp cornstarch
2 tbsp water
🔥 Instructions
Combine Ingredients:
In a small saucepan, mix ketchup, rice vinegar, brown sugar, pineapple juice (if using), and soy sauce.
Cook the Sauce:
Bring the mixture to a gentle boil over medium heat, stirring continuously.
Thicken the Sauce:
In a separate small bowl, mix the cornstarch with water to create a slurry.
Slowly add the cornstarch slurry to the saucepan, stirring constantly until the sauce thickens (about 2-3 minutes).
Serve:
Remove from heat and use immediately or let it cool before storing in the fridge.
✨ Tips:
For a tangier flavor: Add extra vinegar.
For a thicker sauce: Add more cornstarch slurry.
To enhance the flavor: Add minced garlic or ginger while cooking”
