Japanese Sweet & Sour Sauce

4 tbsp		vinegar (don't you DARE use white vinegar!)
4 tbsp		soy sauce (make sure it's shoyu soysauce!)
6 tbsp		brown sugar
2 tbsp		salt
2/3 cup		water
1 dash		garlic powder
1 dash		ginger


1. Mix all ingredients in a small sauce pan.
2. Heat on stove, if you want to use this ass a dipping sauce, add a little
   cornstarch to thicken it up.  If your going to stirfry with it you don't need
   to thicken it up.

I love this recipe, makes a great dipping sauce for those steamed veggies (or
raw).

You can also marinate some firm tofu in it for a few hours before you add it to
some stirfry.
