Ingredients

  • 1/2 c ketchup
  • 3 tbsp brown sugar
  • 1 tsp Sriracha
  • 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 3 tbsp rice vinegar
  • 3/4 c chicken stock
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 dash red pepper flakes
  • 1 tsp cornstarch

Instructions

  • In a medium size mixing bowl (or a 2 c. measuring cup), whisk together the ketchup, brown sugar, Sriracha, Worcestershire, rice vinegar, chicken stock, black pepper, and red pepper flakes, set aside.

To Use Over Meat/Vegetables:

  • Whisk the cornstarch into the sauce and pour over the meat, add the chopped vegetables and stir to coat.
  • Place in the oven and bake uncovered for 50 minutes, stirring every 15 minutes or so. Remove and serve immediately.

To Use as a Dip

  • To use as a dip, boil the ingredients except for the cornstarch. Once boiling, make a cornstarch slurry (cornstarch mixed with 1 tsp water) and add it. Then stir to thicken.

To Use as a Marinade

  • Simply omit the cornstarch. Place the remaining sauce ingredients in a container and mix together, then add the meat and let it marinate in the fridge.
