Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 cup ripe pineapple, diced Fresh pineapple is recommended.
  • 0.5 cup sugar
  • 0.75 cup white vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1-2 teaspoons chili flakes Adjust depending on your desired spice level.
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch Mixed with 2 tablespoons water for thickening.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Begin by dicing your pineapple into small, bite-sized pieces.
  2. In a medium saucepan, combine the diced pineapple, sugar, white vinegar, soy sauce, and chili flakes. Stir everything together well.
Cooking
  1. Place the saucepan over medium heat. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
  2. Once it starts to boil, mix your cornstarch with the water in a separate bowl until smooth. Add this mixture to the saucepan and stir constantly until the sauce thickens, which usually takes about 1-2 minutes.
  3. Remove the sauce from heat and let it cool down in the pot.
Storage
  1. Once cooled, transfer the sauce into an airtight container or jar and enjoy!
