Ingredients
- 1/2 cup ginger, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons neutral cooking oil {I used flavourless coconut oil}
- 1/2 cup soy sauce
- 2 cups pineapple juice
- 2/3 cup orange juice
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1/4 cup brown butter or vegan brown butter
Instructions
- In a large frying pan, saute the ginger in the oil over medium heat for a few minutes. Stir in the soy sauce, juices, and sugar.
- Simmer for about 10 minutes, and then transfer a small amount of the sauce to a measuring cup. Add the cornstarch to the cup and stir until combined. Add the combined sauce/cornstarch mixture back to the sauce pan, and cook and stir until the sauce is your desired thickness.
- Transfer the sauce to the blender, and add the brown butter or vegan brown butter. Blend until the sauce is smooth.
- Serve over vegetables, tofu, fish, chicken or pork.
Notes
Making Thicker Sauce
If you want your sauce to be suitable for drizzling out of a squeeze bottle, add 2 more tablespoons of cornstarch to it.Storage and Reheating
You can store any unused sauce in the fridge for 5 or 6 days. The sauce will thicken up when chilled. Reheat the sauce over low heat to return it to its original consistency. If necessary, you can thin it with a little additional pineapple or orange juice.Nutritional Information
