Notes
This sauce usually comes as a condiment from a Chinese restaurant with sweet and sour chicken but it's so delicious we want you to experiment! Some other ways to use this sauce are - on pork dishes, as a dipping sauce for egg rolls, spring rolls, or wontons, drizzle over rice, vegetables, or noodles, with chicken nuggets (your kids may like that!), as a glaze on meatballs or ribs, in a stir fry, for a marinade, etc.
