Ingredients:

  • 1/2 cup apple cider vinegar
  • 1/3 cup organic cane sugar
  • 1/4 cup ketchup
  • 1 tbsp reduced-sodium soy sauce
  • 1 tsp freshly grated ginger
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 tbsp cornstarch
  • 1 tbsp water

Instructions:

  1. In a small saucepan, whisk together the 1/2 cup apple cider vinegar, 1/3 cup organic cane sugar, 1/4 cup ketchup, 1 tbsp reduced-sodium soy sauce, 1 tsp grated ginger, and 1 minced garlic clove until the sugar is mostly dissolved.
  2. Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle boil.
  3. Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 3 to 5 minutes until the sauce darkens slightly.
  4. In a small bowl, whisk together 1 tbsp cornstarch and 1 tbsp water to create a smooth slurry.
  5. Slowly pour the slurry into the simmering sauce while whisking constantly.
  6. Continue to cook for 1 minute until the sauce thickens, becomes translucent, and smoothly coats the back of a spoon.
