Method
Preparation
- 1
Combine the Sauce Base
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the ketchup, rice vinegar, soy sauce, brown sugar, and pineapple juice. Whisk together until fully combined and smooth.
- 2
Add Seasonings
Stir in the garlic powder, ground ginger, and red pepper flakes. Mix well to incorporate the spices into the sauce.
- 3
Prepare Cornstarch Mixture
In a small bowl, whisk together the cornstarch and water until smooth. This will act as a thickening agent for the sauce.

Combine Everything
Slowly pour the cornstarch mixture into the sauce base, stirring constantly to prevent lumps from forming.

Heat the Sauce
Transfer the sauce to a saucepan and heat over medium heat. Stir frequently until the sauce comes to a gentle boil.

Thicken the Sauce
Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and let the sauce simmer for 2-3 minutes, or until it thickens to your desired consistency. Add salt to taste.

Cool and Store
Remove the sauce from heat and let it cool. Once cooled, transfer to an airtight container and refrigerate until ready to use.
