Heat a pot over a medium-high heat

Add your honey and tomato ketchup with your rice vinegar, soy sauce, 1/2 tsp per person of your cornflour (you'll use the rest later!) and 100ml [150ml] [200ml] boiled water

Cook for 2-3 min or until the sauce has thickened – this is your sweet & sour dipping sauce
