Homemade Sweet and Sour Sauce Recipe

No Sweet and Sour Recipe is complete without making the sumptuous Sweet and Sour Sauce Recipe, (See my Sweet and Sour Meatballs Recipe) in fact almost all of us can agree that the sauce is what makes or breaks the dish. The Sauce needs to be a perfect blend and contrast of sweet, sour and salty. It needs to compliment the dish and not overpower it because of the flavors of the sauce, as said is responsible for making the meat stand out. The sauce also needs to be lump- free especially if you’re serving it to guests. It’s also perfect to prepare this alongside Chinese Lumpia, Pancit, Mami, Chinese Dimsum and Steamed Rice and don’t forget the Buchi and other sweet Chinese delicacies for dessert.
