Ever want to make authentic Chinese sweet and sour sauce? After reading these instructions, you'll be surprised at how simple it is.
Instructions
1. Combine 1/2 cup each of brown sugar, rice vinegar and water in a small pot. Mix ingredients.
2. Put 2 tablespoons of cornstarch in a small cup and slowly add warm water until the mixture is slightly runny. You'll use this to thicken the sauce.
3. Take the mixture from step 1 and place on the stove. Turn on the burner and slowly bring the mixture to a boil. Once the sauce is boiling reduce the heat to medium.
4. Use a spoon or fork to stir the cornstarch mixture that is in the cup since the cornstarch will have settled.
5. Slowly add about 2-3 tablespoons of the cornstarch mixture to the sweet and sour sauce. While adding the cornstarch, use a fork or a whisk to stir the sauce to break up any clumps. Allow the sauce to return to a low boil. If necessary, add more cornstarch until desired thickness is achieved.
6. Once the sweet and sour sauce is ready, either place in a bowl for dipping or serve over your favorite dish.
