Kitten’s Chinese Sweet and Sour Sauce
I use this with my Chinese chicken balls recipe, it will work with just about anything though, it makes a wonderful dipping sauce!
Yield 2 cups
INGREDIENTS:
1/2 cup ketchup
1/3 cup white vinegar (do not use use another vinegar it will effect the flavor)
1/2 cup brown sugar, lightly packed
1 cup white sugar (can reduce a few tablespoons for a less sweeter taste)
3/4 cup unsweetened pineapple juice (or can use water the pineapple juice is better)
3 tablespoons cornstarch (for a thinner sauce reduce to 2 tablespoons)
INSTRUCTIONS:———————————–
In a saucepan combine the first 5 ingredients until combined.
In a cup or bowl whisk the cold water with cornstarch or pineapple juice until smooth and combined, then whisk in ketchup mixture; bring to a boil stirring or whisking constantly over medium-high heat until bubbly and thickened (the sauce will continue to thicken more while simmering).
Use warm or refrigerate until ready to use.

Had been meaning to try out this recipe for a long time and am glad I did. I used only half the amount of white sugar and substituted orange juice for the pineapple juice and it still turned out great. Will be using this again and again with chicken, shrimp, veggies etc. Thanks for another scrumptious treat.
Made this last week, and I cried it was so good. I didn’t have pineapple so instead of water, I used orange juice and also added orange peel, along with about 2 T of fresh ginger, ( I love that taste), with everything else Kitty says to do and the sauce was to die for, I added a few pepper flakes and put in my green pepper, onions, and I used green onions last as a garnish and I couldn’t have been happier with the results. Kitty you rock!
