How to Make Chinese Sweet And Sour Sauce
- In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons cornstarch and 1/4 cup cold water. Set aside.
- In a medium saucepan, combine 1/2 cup ketchup, 1/4 cup white vinegar, 1/4 cup sugar, 2 tablespoons soy sauce, 1 tablespoon pineapple juice, 1 teaspoon grated ginger, and 1/2 teaspoon ground cloves.
- Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the sugar is completely dissolved and the sauce is hot.
- Reduce heat to low. Slowly drizzle in the cornstarch slurry, whisking continuously until the sauce thickens to your desired consistency (about 1 minute).
- Remove from heat and let cool slightly before serving.
- Serve warm or at room temperature as a sauce or dipping condiment. Enjoy!
