Ingredients

  • ½ cup pineapple juice
  • ½ cup low sodium soy sauce
  • 3 garlic cloves
  • 2 teaspoons rice vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 tablespoon water
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon shredded ginger
  • 1 teaspoon olive oil

Instructions

  • Very finely dice or grate the garlic and ginger. Alternatively, use pureed ginger and garlic.
  • Add the ginger and garlic to a small pot along with olive oil. Sauté on medium heat for about a minute to allow the aromatics to soften.
  • Combine cold water and cornstarch in a small bowl, and stir to form a paste. Set this aside.
  • Add the remaining ingredients to the pot with the ginger and garlic. Bring the sauce to a gentle simmer, then add the cornstarch slurry. Stir while the sauce quickly thickens.
  • Leave the sauce to simmer for a further 2-3 minutes while stirring, then remove the sauce from the heat. Use it immediately, or allow it to cool down before you transfer it to a storage container.

Notes

  • Store the sauce in a sealed container in a refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. Use in a variety of dishes of your choice.
  • To further reduce the amount of sodium in the sauce, you can substitute coconut aminos for soy sauce.
