Ingredients: 1/3 cup rice vinegar (Note: you can use white vinegar but rice vinegar gives better results) 4 tablespoons brown sugar 1 tablespoon ketchup 1 teaspoon soy sauce 2 teaspoons arrowroot or rice starch mixed with 4 teaspoons water
Preparation: Mix the vinegar, brown sugar, ketchup, and soy sauce together and bring to a boil in a small pot. Mix together the starch and water, add to the other ingredients and stir to thicken.
(If desired, you can add 1 green pepper, cut into chunks, and pineapple chunks as desired after adding the starch. For a thicker sauce, increase the starch to 4 teaspoons while keeping the water constant.)
