I always buy those fancy sweet and sour sauce bottles that Heinz makes. But i thought to myself, why not do it from scratch on my own? At least you get to know every single ingredient.

flavorful sweet and sour sauce,the must have in your refrigerator :)

sauce goes great with anything

Ever since I was a child, I liked to putter around in the kitchen. Sometimes I watched my late mom cooking. Most of the time she asked me to do this and that. I can still hear her voice telling me to peel or chop something. Growing up, I was blessed with a warm family and a home full of delicious dishes. My mother was always cooking something. Spicy rendang, stir-fry, seafood dishes, oh, how I'the love to return to that state of bliss when my parents were still alive and we could have a normal dinner together, chatting about mundane stuff.I am grateful for those memories. Now I am passing them to my kids. They are no stranger in the kitchen and in a way I am happy because my mother would love this.I learned (and am still learning) cooking by trial and error. The internet has opened my eyes to plenty of food around the world, but sometimes I yearn for the familiar, like this sweet and sour sauce. Being an Asian, we naturally collect tomato and chili sauce sachets from take-outs so we always have some around the house.#givingthanks

There are a dozen ways of eating Napa cabbages, but this is one of my favorite ways of mom spoiled me during those cold winter nights.

I don't like sweet and sour pork made with deep fried pork, so at some point I started using easy to make meatballs instead. I've also settled on this light soy sauce flavored sauce rather than the usual ketchup flavored one.*Adjust the amount of meatballs you add to taste.*By mixing the katakuriko with the flavoring ingredients beforehand, you can prevent lumps from forming in the sauce.

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 got tired of the corn starch, soy sauce, tomato ketchup. and various other ingredients that go in some sauces. So here is what I came up with. I just wanted to keep it simple, yet delicious. A good sauce for some chicken or Pork.

I tried recreating the taste of my mother's cooking with this filling dish using discounted ground pork!If you want lots of extra sauce, just double each of the ingredients!The meatballs tend to get in the way of mixing when you're thickening the sauce, but introduce the dissolved katakuriko bit by bit and stir gently so your sauce doesn't end up lumpy.

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 always had e stuffed peppers with ketchup, but I wanted to try something different and thought up this recipe.I think doing Step 2 on plastic wrap will make it easier to clean up ♪Cover the green bell peppers evenly and thinly with katakuriko to prevent the stuffed meat from falling out.Reduce the heat to low at Step 5 and keep shaking the fry pan when you add the ● ingredients to make the sauce thicker.
