Ingredients

● ½ cup soy sauce
● 3 tablespoons pineapple juice
● 1 tablespoons honey
● 2 tablespoons brown sugar
● 1 teaspoon ground ginger
● 1 teaspoon sesame oil
● 1-½ teaspoons minced garlic
● 2 tablespoons cornstarch + 2 tablespoons water

Instructions

Add all ingredients to a medium skillet. Mix well over medium heat using a rubber spatula and bring to a boil.
● ½ cup soy sauce, ● 3 tablespoons pineapple juice, ● 1 tablespoons honey, ● 2 tablespoons brown sugar, ● 1 teaspoon ground ginger, ● 1 teaspoon sesame oil, ● 1-½ teaspoons minced garlic
Once boiling, reduce heat to low.
In a very small cup, mix together the cornstarch and water until the mixture is perfectly smooth. It may be thick at first.
● 2 tablespoons cornstarch + 2 tablespoons water
Add cornstarch mixture to the skillet and mix until it’s fully blended.
Cover the sauce and allow it to simmer for 5-7 minutes stirring frequently.
When done, pour sauce from skillet to mixing bowl or serving jar to cool completely before ready to use.

Notes

Important: cornstarch MUST be deluded into equal parts water before being added to the sauce. Otherwise, the sauce will become clumpy.

If your sauce isn’t thick enough, delude more cornstarch in water and add to the mixture. Start with ½ tablespoon at a time.
If the sauce is too thick, add even parts water, soy sauce and pineapple sauce to the sauce.
This sauce is best served chilled or at room temperature.
Add sesame seeds to your sauce for added flare.
