Instructions

1 ✓

Combine all ingredients in a saucepan: tomato puree, water, vinegar, soy sauce, honey, sugar, spices, ginger, and garlic.

Tip: Mixing cold ensures even dissolution before heat caramelizes the sugars.
2 ✓

Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly to prevent scorching.

Tip: Tomato sauce tends to splatter; partially cover with a lid.
3 ✓

Reduce heat and simmer gently for 10-15 minutes. The flavors will meld and the sauce will reduce slightly.

Tip: Cooking softens the sharp acidity of the vinegar.
4 ✓

Taste and season with salt if needed. Serve warm or cold.

Tip: Thin with a little water if it becomes too thick.

Recipe FAQ

Can I use ketchup instead of puree?
Ketchup already has sugar and vinegar, so if you swap, reduce the added honey and vinegar in the recipe.
How thick should it be?
Like loose jam or runny honey. It thickens significantly as it cools.
