Orange juice and chopped ginger add an extra kick to this basic sweet and sour sauce recipe.
1. In small bowl, combine cornstarch with water, stirring to dissolve cornstarch. Set aside. In separate bowl, stir together 2/3 cup water, vinegar, tomato paste, soy sauce, orange juice, salt, and sugar, until combined. (If needed, use a whisk to mix in the tomato paste).
2. In a saucepan, heat the oil on medium heat (about 6 on the dial). Add the minced ginger and cook for about 1 minute, stirring, until it is fragrant and starting to brown.
3. Add water and ketchup mixture and bring to a boil, whisking to dissolve sugar and tomato paste. Adjust heat down as needed. (Note: at this point if you want you can remove the pan from the heat and pour the sauce through a mesh strainer to remove the minced ginger, then return to stove top).
4. Re-stir cornstarch/water slurry. Turn up heat and pour cornstarch/water mixture into the sauce, stirring quickly to thicken. Serve immediately or store in a sealed container in the refrigerator. Reheat before using.
