Question

How do you make sweet and sour sauce like the takeaways?

Answer 1

ketchup, white vinegar, sugar and a k**b of fresh ginger(optional). bring to a simmer and "viola".

Answer 2

Vinegar and a tin of pineapple chunks. Not my favourite.

Answer 3

SWEET & SOUR SAUCE

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.)
