Excellent flavour! A really nice blend of sweet and savoury. It went very well with grilled corn. Definitely kid-friendly as well, since my 2 year old girls kept asking for more sauce. I added 3 cloves of garlic instead of 1 (I typically triple the garlic in any recipe I make), and left the sauce out of the fridge. I couldn't quite understand why it needed to be refrigerated, so I kept it warm on the stove, and it was wonderful. I think this recipe would work very well for guests with picky children. Everyone should be happy! Thanks for posting Oolala.

I simply loved this recipe. I was skeptical about the ketchup at first (even though I love ketchup) but it was so delicious. I did however leave out the ginger, I also used 3x garlic, 2x soy sauce, 3x dry mustard, and I added worcestor sauce. From now on, this is the only sauce I will use on my pork. Thank you!

<p>I've collected recipes since I was a teen. After all these years I'm trying to get all my index cards and clippings, that still sound interesting to me, posted here so that I can find them and eventually make them! <br /> <br />I've posted some of my Mom's recipes. I regret not having paid more attention to my Grandmothers' cooking. They made some dishes that I miss and there were/are no recipes for them. <br /> <br />I have a wonderful DH and 2 wonderful sons. They are thrilled that I found this site since they directly benefit from it! Before finding 'Zaar, I was less of a cook and more of a recipe collector but now I try many more things and we're having more fun in the kitchen (at least I am)! <br /> <br />Thanks for all your ratings, comments and help in the forums AND for posting so many great recipes. You've enhanced my cooking skills and expanded my horizons! I've learned so much. <br /> <br />For fun, I also like to read fiction, travel, see movies and shows, shop (and I love to browse thrift shops and rummage/garage sales for cookbooks, etc.). <br /> <br />The discovery of a new dish does more for the happiness of mankind than the discovery of a new star Brillat-Savarin</p>
