Sweet and Sour Sauce
This sauce is the perfect balance of tangy, sweet, and a little savoury. It’s simply made with pineapple juice, vinegar, sugar, and a touch of tomato ketchup, just like the one you’d get from your favourite takeaway.

Calories: 306kcal
Ingredients
- ¼ cup White vinegar
- ¼ cup White sugar
- 3-4 tbsp Tomato ketchup
- ¼ cup Pineapple juice Or water
- 1 tsp Salt
- 1 tbsp Cornstarch ( Mix it with 3 tbsp water )
- ½ tsp Msg Optional
Instructions
- In a medium saucepan, combine the pineapple juice, vinegar, sugar, ketchup, and salt. Stir well to dissolve the sugar as much as possible before heating.
- Place the pan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle boil, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
- Once it starts bubbling steadily, stir in the cornstarch slurry into the pan while stirring continuously. Continue cooking for an additional 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens and becomes glossy.
- Remove the pan from the heat and let the sauce cool down completely to room temperature. Transfer to a clean jar or airtight container.
Notes
- Let the sauce cool completely and store it in a clean jar in the fridge; it should last a few weeks.
- If the sauce is too thick, add a splash of water or pineapple juice. If it’s too thin, simmer for a longer time or add a bit more cornstarch slurry.
