I really love fried chicken topped with onion and sweet and sour sauce. So, I tried a pork version.I think this sauce could be used in many dishes. It goes well with fried chicken and would give a deliciously mild taste to shredded vegetables. You can also use thinly sliced pork. Recipe by Raby

I love eggplants. While I was thinking of dishes to prepare with one of my favorite sweet and savory sauces, this was what stuck!If the skin of the eggplant is tough, peel off some strips in a zebra pattern to make it easier to bite into. Once you add the sauce ingredients it will cook down in no time, so make sure to simmer over low heat. Recipe by pappatyan.

Green bell peppers and eggplant were in season this summer and autumn in my garden!I added some chicken breast that was on sale for around 100 yen ($1) to make dinner!It looks like sweet and sour pork so I cooked it using a similar sauce. It'll taste better when cooled if you use just a small bit of sauce. It's delicious in bento, too!-It's nice even without doubanjiang spicy bean paste!-Substitute chili oil or ichimi togarashi (japanese red chilli pepper) for the doubanjiang spicy bean paste.-Adding extra bamboo shoot, carrot, onion and shiitake mushrooms would be perfect. Like sweet and sour pork!-Do not stir fry the bell peppers too long or they'll lose their crunchiness.-Reduce the sauce at the end so that ketchup and vinegar are less acidic. Recipe by moj

I saw some ground chicken breast on sale! Chicken has a pretty light flavor to it, so when I decided to change half of the meat to pork, I ended up with especially tasty meatballs!This meaty and hearty dish lets you enjoy the taste of chicken without the greasiness of an all-pork recipe.If you like your meatballs chock-full of meat, reduce the amount of onions.If your onion seems to be on the watery side, make sure to squeeze the moisture out after chopping.After pouring the sauce onto the meatballs, simmer well to get rid of the acidity from the ketchup and vinegar.These are also good without doubanjiang!

I wanted to make a dish using simple ingredients. This was cheap and easy yet delicious, so it's become a family favorite.1 bag of bean spouts will result with lots of sauce, which is enough for 2 to 3 servings. If you want to increase the servings, use 2 bags. You can double the volume for just 50 yen or so, so it's an economical dish. Just increase the bean sprouts to 2 bags and use the same amounts of the other ingredients.Since this is a Chinese style dish, cook the egg over high heat until browned. The base ingredients are so inexpensive, yet this is a very elegant tasting dish. For 2 to 3 servings. Recipe by Usagyo
