  • sweet and sour sauce

    Been doing a load of cooking to stock up the freezer, including this recipe for sweet and sour sauce

    sweet and sour sauce


    Yields about 1/2 cup (plenty enough to cover 4 diced up chicken breast with veg)
    Cook Time: 5 minutes
    Ingredients:

    * 1/3 cup white or rice vinegar (Note: rice vinegar gives better results)
    * 4 tablespoons brown sugar
    * 1 tablespoon ketchup
    * 1 teaspoon soy sauce
    * 2 teaspoons cornstarch mixed with 4 teaspoons water

    Preparation:
    Mix the vinegar, brown sugar, ketchup, and soy sauce together and bring to a boil in a small pot. Mix together the cornstarch and water, add to the other ingredients and stir to thicken.

    (If desired, you can add 1 green pepper, cut into chunks, and pineapple chunks as desired after adding the cornstarch. For a thicker sauce, increase the cornstarch to 4 teaspoons while keeping the water constant.)

    I find I have to taste and add a little more sugar or rice vinegar to get the flavour I want

    Enjoy!

    i make mine by eye too, same recipe though, apart from the cornflower, i find a spot of tomato puree thickens it up alongside the ketchup.

      try honey instead of sugar, it gives a slightly different taste to it.
