Time 10m

Yield 0 1/2 cup

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 1/2 tablespoons rice vinegar
2 tablespoons sugar
1 tablespoon quality ketchup
1 teaspoon soy sauce
1/4 cup water
1 tablespoon corn or peanut oil
1 1/2 teaspoons minced garlic
1 teaspoon minced fresh ginger
1 teaspoon cornstarch dissolved in 1 tablespoon cold water

Steps:

  • Combine the rice vinegar, sugar, ketchup, soy sauce and water in a small bowl, stirring to dissolve the sugar. Set aside.
  • Heat a small, heavy saucepan. Add the oil and swirl to glaze the bottom of the pan. When the oil is hot enough to sizzle a piece of garlic, add the garlic and ginger and stir gently until fragrant, 10 to 15 seconds, adjusting the heat so they sizzle gently without browning. Add the sugar mixture, stir to blend, then raise the heat to bring the mixture to a bubbly simmer, stirring.
  • Reduce the heat to medium-low; stir the cornstarch and water to recombine it and add it to the pan. Stir until the mixture thickens and becomes glossy, about 20 seconds. Turn off the heat and cover the pot to keep the sauce warm until ready to serve. The sauce can be made ahead, stored in the refrigerator and then reheated.

This recipe was a bit too sweet for my taste. I would recommend reducing the amount of sugar in the sauce.

I'm not a big fan of sweet and sour sauce, but this recipe was actually really good. The sauce was tangy and flavorful, and the chicken was cooked perfectly. I would definitely make this again.

I followed the recipe exactly and the sauce was way too thick. I had to add a lot of water to thin it out. Other than that, the dish was delicious.

This was my first time making sweet and sour chicken and it turned out great! The sauce was the perfect balance of sweet and sour, and the chicken was cooked perfectly. I will definitely be making this again.

I've made this recipe several times now and it's always a hit. The sauce is so versatile, I've used it on chicken, shrimp, and even tofu. It's also great as a dipping sauce for egg rolls or spring rolls.

This recipe was easy to follow and the results were delicious. I especially liked the addition of pineapple to the sauce. It gave it a nice tropical flavor.
