Ingredients
- 1 cup canned pineapple juice
- 1/2 cup light brown sugar use 3/4 cup for sweeter
- 1/2 cup rice vinegar
- 2 tablespoons ketchup
- 2 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon corn starch mixed with 2 tablespoons water to form a slurry - double for a thicker sweet and sour sauce
- 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional, for spicy - or more to taste)
Instructions
- Whisk the pineapple juice, brown sugar, vinegar, ketchup, and soy sauce together in a small pot. Add red pepper flakes for spicy.
- Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 1 minute.
- Stir in the cornstarch slurry and simmer, stirring constantly, for 1-2 minutes, or until the sweet and sour sauce thickens.
- Cool and enjoy!
Notes
- For a thicker sauce, swirl in another tablespoon or more of the cornstarch slurry until it thickens to your preference.
- Pineapple Juice. Avoid fresh pineapple juice, as it can prevent thickening. Processed pineapple juice (canned or jarred) is idea for making sweet and sour sauce.
