Instructions
- Pour pineapple juice, white sugar, vinegar, and salt into a robust saucepan, positioning it over medium heat to initiate a rolling boil.
- Introduce red chili flakes, finely chopped garlic, and tomato ketchup into the bubbling liquid, maintaining a consistent boil while stirring periodically to distribute flavors evenly.
- Create a smooth cornflour slurry by whisking the powder with cold water until no lumps remain, ensuring a silky texture.
- Reduce cooking temperature and slowly incorporate the cornflour mixture, continuously stirring to prevent clumping and promote even thickening of the sauce.
- Allow the sauce to gently simmer, watching as it transforms into a luxurious, glossy consistency that will further condense upon cooling.
