Ingredients:

  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1/2 cup white vinegar
  • 1/4 cup ketchup
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1/2 cup pineapple juice (fresh or canned)
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 2 tablespoons water
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
  • 1/4 teaspoon ginger powder (optional)

Instructions:

  1. Combine Wet Ingredients:

    • In a medium saucepan, combine the sugar, vinegar, ketchup, soy sauce, and pineapple juice. Stir well until the sugar is dissolved.

  2. Heat the Sauce:

    • Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a simmer. Stir occasionally.

  3. Make the Slurry:

    • In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of water to create a slurry. Stir until smooth.

  4. Thicken the Sauce:

    • Once the sauce is simmering, slowly pour the cornstarch slurry into the saucepan while stirring continuously.
    • Continue to cook and stir the sauce for 2-3 minutes, or until it thickens to your desired consistency.

  5. Add Optional Flavors:

    • For added flavor, you can stir in garlic powder or ginger powder at this point. Adjust the seasoning to taste by adding more sugar, vinegar, or soy sauce.
