Ingredients

  • 2 cups ketchup

  • 1/2 cup Dijon mustard

  • 1/2 cup brown sugar

  • 1/2 cup rice vinegar

  • 2 tablespoons grated fresh ginger

  • 1/2 cup minced green onions

  • 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper

  • 1 teaspoon soy sauce

  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil

Steps to Make It

  1. Whisk together the ketchup, mustard, brown sugar, vinegar, ginger, green onions, cayenne, soy sauce and sesame oil in a medium saucepan. Bring to a simmer, stirring occasionally, and remove the pan from the heat.
