Quick Szechwan Sauce

Trying to make a conscious decision to eat better, I made a stir fry, but wanted a sauce to add some flavor. And I was really happy with this one. Sweet and spicy. Two of my favorite things. Can be used a meat marinade or cooking sauce.
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- 3 red chile peppers, seeded and chopped fine*
- 2 tsps fresh chopped ginger**
- 2 tsps minced garlic
- 5 tbsp sugar
- 5 tbsp vinegar
- 5 tbsp ketchup

Stir together olive oil, chile peppers, ginger and garlic. Mix in sugar, vinegar and ketchup.

* I used red pepper flakes as I didn't have the chile peppers on hand. Adjust amount to your tastes
** Again I used the ginger powder as I didn't have fresh ginger on hand
