Sweet and Sour Sauce – homemade Chinese sauce made with 6 simple ingredients. Perfect with chicken, pork or as a dipping sauce for dumplings or spring rolls!

Forget the store-bought stuff and make this sauce from scratch! I also recommend my Homemade Teriyaki Sauce and the Hoisin Sauce.

If you visited my blog before, you may know that I like to make my own condiments whenever possible. Especially when it comes to Asian cuisine sauces. I almost always have my teriyaki sauce in my fridge, ready to go. It’s very convenient and made from ingredients I know. I add it to cooked chicken or pork and serve over rice. You can serve it with crispy spring rolls or fried potstickers.

Drizzle this sauce on Korean Beef Tacos or use in place of teriyaki sauce in my Easy Chicken Stir-Fry.

This sauce is an Asian version of a barbecue sauce and is perfect with grilled or sauteed meats and vegetables. It’s thick, has a strong fragrance and salty-sweet taste thanks to peanut butter and brown sugar. This homemade version is simplified with common ingredients, you can find in your local grocery store.
