Sweet, tangy, and perfectly glossy, this sauce comes together in one saucepan with pineapple juice, rice vinegar, and ketchup simmered until the sugar melts into a rich, balanced base. Garlic powder adds a savory backbone while a cornstarch slurry whisked in at the end brings that classic thick, spoon-coating texture and glassy shine. It only takes a few minutes of simmering and whisking to go from thin liquid to deeply glossy, restaurant-style sauce. Drizzle it over stir-fried vegetables, crispy tofu, or grilled chicken for that unmistakable sweet-and-sour hit. This one is a solid choice for a gluten free kitchen, easy to make ahead and keep on hand for busy weeknights. Simple pantry staples and a quick simmer are really all it takes.
