sweet and sour sauce- easy
(2 ratings)
I got this recipe back in the mid 1970's from a Chinese cooking class. Its a versatile sauce that can be used for many dishes or a dip for egg rolls. One of my friends who is an authentic Chinese person was horrified. She told me it is no where near a real Chinese sweet and sour. I'm sorry Lee, but I do like it and its easy. :) So I'm passing this along with the warning that its not real Chinese but maybe you will like it as much as I do.
