Ok this one's super SUPER simple to make, and it's absolutely delicious. I saw the recipe on a FB reel from Khin's Kitchen, and my first thought was "how can this not be good?"
The recipe states that it's "Perfect for spring
rolls, crispy won tons, or nuggets" but I would also use it as a stir fry sauce as well. It's SO flavorful. I bet you could even add a little heat to it if you like things hot and sweet. Lots of bang for your buck with this one! Boom.
1/2 cup pineapple juice or water
1/2 cup white vinegar
1/2 cup sugar
1/4 cup ketchup
1 tsp salt
1 tbs corn starch mixed with 2 tbs cold water
In
a saucepan, combine pineapple juice, vinegar, sugar, ketchup, and salt.
Stir and bring to a gentle boil. Once the sugar has dissolved and the
sauce begins to bubble, stir in the cornstarch slurry. Continue cooking
for 1-2 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened to your desired
consistency. Let it cool and store it in a clean jar.
Chef's note: Add 1-2 drops of natural red food coloring if you prefer a red sauce.
Tips:
It sounds silly to say this about a sweet and sour sauce, but it's VERY sweet, and VERY sour. When I made it, I used pineapple juice, but I think I may use just water next time. That might cut it a little. I also added a tsp of soy sauce. That gave it a little savory note to it.
This sauce is perfect for water bath or steam canning. If you choose to do so, use clear gel instead of regular corn starch. The clear gel is modified specifically for canning. I'd do half pints for 15 minutes.
