I've been making this sauce for over 20 years. You can substitute ground ginger and dried garlic if you must, but the results will suffer. This recipe is enough for a dip for egg rolls or won tons. For sweet & sour pork or chicken, I triple the recipe.
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
- 1 TBSP corn starch
- 1/3 cup white vinegar
- 1/3 cup chicken stock, or one bouillon cube dissolved in one cup boiling water
- 1 clove of garlic, minced
- 1 tsp grated fresh ginger
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
Directions
- Mix brown sugar and corn starch in small sauce pan until well blended. Add all the rest of the ingredients and heat over medium heat until thick.
