Sweet-and-Sour Dipping Sauce


1 1/2 tablespoons rice vinegar
2 tablespoons sugar
1 tablespoon quality ketchup
1 teaspoon soy sauce
1/4 cup water
1 tablespoon corn or peanut oil
1 1/2 teaspoons minced garlic
1 teaspoon minced fresh ginger
1 teaspoon cornstarch dissolved in 1 tablespoon cold water

Preparation

1. Combine the rice vinegar, sugar, ketchup, soy sauce and water in a
small bowl, stirring to dissolve the sugar. Set aside.

2. Heat a small, heavy saucepan. Add the oil and swirl to glaze the bottom
of the pan. When the oil is hot enough to sizzle a piece of garlic, add
the garlic and ginger and stir gently until fragrant, 10 to 15 seconds,
adjusting the heat so they sizzle gently without browning. Add the sugar
mixture, stir to blend, then raise the heat to bring the mixture to a
bubbly simmer, stirring.

3. Reduce the heat to medium-low; stir the cornstarch and water to
recombine it and add it to the pan. Stir until the mixture thickens and
becomes glossy, about 20 seconds. Turn off the heat and cover the pot to
keep the sauce warm until ready to serve. The sauce can be made ahead,
stored in the refrigerator and then reheated.
Makes about 1/2 cup.
