Mandarin Barbeque Sauce

I created this recipe after dining with my pastor at a popular Chinese restaurant in San Diego. The chef prepared a pork tenderloin that was out of this world. He came to our table and shared with me just the ingredients for his sauce not the quantities. Anyway here is my rendition of this Chinese Style BBQ sauce. We have served this over many a pork dish at the conference center.

Yield: 5 cups

Ingredients:
½ large yellow onion, small diced
¼ c. fresh minced garlic
¼ c. peeled ginger, minced
¼ c. sesame oil
salt and pepper
6 oz. rice wine vinegar
½ c. soy or teriyaki sauce
¼ c. worshteshire sauce
1 ½ c. ketchup
1 c. chicken stock
6 oz. hoisin sauce
1/4 c. corn syrup or honey

Instructions:
In a saucepot sweat onion, garlic, ginger, sesame oil, salt, and pepper until onions are translucent. Add rice wine vinegar and reduce by half. Add the rest of the ingredients, bring to simmer, cook on medium heat for 15 minutes. Adjust seasoning, and pour over your favorite cut of pig. This sauce can be refrigerated for up to 2 weeks. Oink, oink!

Note: can also be used with braised beef short ribs, shish kebobs or chicken.
