Finally a sauce you can make at home the tastes just the like the sauce that is served at your favorite Chinese restaurant! - this is the sauce recipe that goes with my Kittencal's Chinese Chicken Balls With Sweet and Sour Sauce Ingredients:
1/2 cup ketchup |
1 teaspoon regular soy sauce |
1/3 cup white vinegar |
1/2 cup brown sugar, lightly packed |
1 cup white sugar (can reduce a 2-3 tablespoons for a less sweeter taste) |
3/4 cup cold water (or can use unsweetened pineapple juice or half each, i prefer the pineapple juice) |
3 tablespoons cornstarch (for a thinner sauce reduce to 2 tablespoons, if you want an very thick sauce use 4 tablespoons) |
Directions:
1. In a saucepan combine the first 5 ingredients until combined.
2. In a cup or bowl whisk the cold water with cornstarch or pineapple juice until smooth and combined, then whisk in ketchup mixture; bring to a boil stirring or whisking constantly over medium-high heat until bubbly and thickened (the sauce will continue to thicken more while simmering).
3. Cool slightly and use immediately or refrigerate.
