Sweet and Sour Sauce Recipe

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

Sweet and Sour Sauce is a sauce made by combining a sweet component and a sour component with cornstarch as the thickening agent. Some of the common sweet components are brown sugar, granulated white sugar, and honey. Rice vinegar, white vinegar, apple-cider vinegar, and pineapple juice are some of the common ingredients used as sour component.This sweet and sour recipe will give you a good sauce with the right balance of flavors.

Sweet and Sour Sauce

The thing that I like most about this Sweet and Sour Sauce Recipe is its ease in preparation — not to mention the fact that it does not take much time to make one. It also saves me money; instead of buying commercialized Sweet and Sour Sauce from the store, I make one for myself and my family with less than half of the cost.

This Sweet and Sour Sauce Recipe is best used for fried and breaded meat like pork, chicken, and fish.
