👩🍳 Directions
In a saucepan, whisk together the sugar, vinegar, water, salt, ketchup, and soy sauce.
Set over medium heat and bring to a gentle boil, stirring until well combined.
In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of water until smooth.
Slowly pour the cornstarch mixture into the saucepan, stirring constantly to avoid lumps.
Continue stirring for 2–3 minutes, until the sauce thickens and coats the back of a spoon.
Remove from heat and let cool. The sauce will thicken more as it cools.
✨ Variations & Tips
– Add red pepper flakes or fresh ginger for a hint of spice.
– Swap apple cider vinegar with pineapple juice for a tropical twist.
– Store leftovers in a jar in the fridge—just shake well before using.
– Adjust sweetness or sourness to taste—your kitchen, your rules.
