Preparation Steps
Start by heating your pan and add the ketchup, water, rice wine vinegar, salt and orange squash. Mix well until it heats and starts to slowly bubble
Add the sugar, stir gently and continue to heat on medium / low until it start to gently bubble
Mix the water and cornflour (or arrowroot for a more see through sauce) together (often easier with your finger) to make a milky liquid, wait until the sauce is boiling nicely then slowly pour into the sauce and stir continuously until thickened. Add more slowly if required by making up more liquid again in the same ratio.
