Sweet and Sour Sauce
Filed Under Recipe, Sauces / Dips | Printer Friendly Page
Unlike most sweet and sour sauces, this one is not red and thick. I see no reason to add red food coloring or make it gloppy and thick. The basic recipe can be done in any amount as it is just equal parts water to vinegar and equal parts liquid to sugar.
Ingredients
- 1 cup Rice Wine Vinegar
- 1 cup Water
- 2 cups Sugar
- 6 cloves of Garlic, minced
- Shredded Carrot, for garnish
Bring everything to a hard boil except the carrot. Boil for 3- 5 minutes. The longer it rapidly boils, the thicker the sauce will be.
Let cool for at least 2 hours before serving and garnish with the carrots. It should set up a little bit thicker when cooled and the bits of garlic will float in the middle.

Margot, thank you! The sauce can be used many other ways such as a base for a salad dressing or a marinade for chicken.
