Sweet and Sour Tomato Ginger Glaze

Author: Flavelo
Recipes Sauces and Gravies
A true fusion experiment where the world of classic BBQ sauces meets Far Eastern flavours. Tomato and brown sugar give depth, while ginger and cider vinegar ensure a vibrant, fresh finish. Thick, sticky, and full of flavour – excellent choice for brushing on ribs before baking, or as a dip for fried vegetables.

Ingredients

Equipment Needed

  • Saucepan: For cooking.
  • Grater: For ginger.
  • Wooden spoon: For stirring.

Allergen Information

⚠️ Soya
⚠️ Cereals containing gluten (may be in soy sauce)

Instructions

1 ✓

Mix all ingredients in the saucepan: tomato puree, water, vinegar, soy sauce, honey, sugar, spices, grated ginger and garlic.

Tip: Cold mixing ensures everything dissolves evenly before heat starts to caramelise the sugar.
2 ✓

Put on medium heat and bring to a boil whilst stirring constantly so sugar melts and bottom doesn't burn.

Tip: Tomato tends to 'spit' during boiling due to thickness; use a lid placed half-on.
3 ✓

Reduce heat and simmer for 10-15 minutes. The goal is for flavours to meld and sauce to thicken slightly.

Tip: During cooking, the edge of acids (vinegar) dulls, and the overall effect becomes more harmonious.
4 ✓

Taste, salt if necessary. Serve warm or cold.

Tip: If it became too thick, you can dilute with a little water.

Recipe FAQ

Can I use ketchup instead of tomato puree?
Ketchup already has sugar and vinegar, so if using that, reduce amount of honey and vinegar in recipe.
How thick should it be?
Like a thinner jam or runny honey. It thickens a lot while cooling.
