Melting Pot Ginger Plum Sauce

It would have been great to find a brand-name plum sauce that is a perfect match to the ginger plum sauce served at The Melting Pot, but after trying several popular brands, none of them was quite right. The sauce that came the closest is made by Lee Kum Kee, and I found the best solution was to use that bottled sauce as a base and transform it into a clone by adding a few other ingredients.

You'll find that this sweet-and-sour sauce tastes delicious on your fondue-cooked shrimp and chicken.
