Char Siu Sauce

KCShell's Note:

I am posting this because it is different than the other Char Siu Sauces here on Zaar. I noticed a recipe called, "Sticky Chicken" Sticky Chicken. It is posted by Im Pat. I am not familiar with this sauce so I googled it and found this recipe. Since I would never buy a jar of it, I felt like this would be a good recipe to post.
