• ¼ cup ketchup
• ¼ cup orange juice
• ¼ cup white distilled vinegar
• 2 tablespoons Coconut Aminos
• 1 tablespoons water
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch
• Mix the cornstarch and water together in a cup. Then slowly stir it into the pan. Reduce heat slightly and simmer for 2-3 minutes or until the sauce is thick enough to coat the vegetables.
