Adjust the Sweetness & Tanginess – Add more sugar for a sweeter taste or more vinegar for extra tang.
Thickening the Sauce – Cornstarch is the key to achieving the perfect consistency.
Enhance the Flavor – A splash of pineapple juice adds an extra layer of fruity sweetness.
Spice It Up – Add a pinch of red pepper flakes for a little heat.
How to Store
Let the sauce cool completely before transferring it to an airtight container. Store it in the refrigerator for up to two weeks. Stir well before using, as ingredients may separate over time.
How to Freeze
To freeze, pour the sauce into a freezer-safe container, leaving some space for expansion. Freeze for up to 3 months. Thaw in the refrigerator and reheat on the stovetop, adding a little water if needed to restore consistency.
How to Make Sweet and Sour Sauce
Place white vinegar, sugar, water, soy sauce, ketchup and cornstarch in a saucepan. Whisk to combine.
Turn on the fire and let it heat up until the sauce thickens, stirring continuously. Taste and adjust the sauce by adding more sugar if it is too sour or more vinegar if it is too sweet. Pour the sauce into a cold container.
Serve and enjoy!
