– 1 tablespoon minced garlic
– 1 to 2 tablespoons red chili flakes
– 1 tablespoon tomato ketchup (optional)
– 1 teaspoon salt (adjust to taste)
– 2 tablespoons cornflour
– 4 tablespoons cold water
Instructions
1-Combine sugar, pineapple juice, vinegar, and salt in a large heavy-bottomed pan, then bring it to a boil for a solid base.
2-Add chili flakes, minced garlic, and optional ketchup, letting it boil on medium heat for 5 minutes to blend the tastes.
3-Mix cornflour with cold water to make a slurry, then lower the heat and stir it into the sauce slowly to avoid any lumps building up.

5-Let the sauce cool completely before you bottle it up for the fridge, ensuring it stays fresh and ready for your next meal.
