Chinese Barbecue Sauce

• 1 cup ketchup
• 1 tablespoon hoisin sauce
• 12 cup corn syrup
• 12 cup brown sugar
• 3 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon ginger, fresh minced (IMO powdered ginger is not a great substitute)
• 1 tablespoon liquid smoke
• 2 tablespoons honey
• 3 tablespoons white wine vinegar or 3 tablespoons rice wine vinegar
• 14 teaspoon white pepper
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 2 teaspoons garlic powder
• 14 teaspoon five-spice powder (optional)

1. Mix all ingredients and heat over low to medium heat until sugar dissolves.
2. Adjust to desired sweetness or tartness with vinegar or one of the sweeteners like corn syrup, sugar or honey-- to taste.
3. Most ingredients are optional.
4. I highly recommend NOT leaving out the Hoisin Sauce, ginger, sugar and ketchup.
5. But do personalize this to your own taste.
