Homemade Sweet And Sour Sauce Recipe

3 Tbsp peanut oil
1/2 tsp finely chopped green onions
1/2 tsp finely chopped ginger root
1/2 tsp finely chopped garlic
3 Tbsp vegetable stock or water
3 Tbsp white rice vinegar
3 Tbsp soy sauce
3 Tbsp brown sugar
1 Tbsp cornstarch dissolved in 1 Tbsp water

Put peanut oil in a pot over medium heat and, when hot, add the onions, ginger, and garlic; stir and cook just until fragrant; about 1 minute.

Add the stock, vinegar, soy sauce, and brown sugar and whisk until combined.

Allow to come up to a gentle boil, then slowly stir in the cornstarch mixture and continue stirring until sauce thickens. Add more water if the sauce becomes too thick for your liking.

Remove from heat and allow to cool. Store in refrigerator until ready to use, or use immediately.

Yields about 1 cup of sauce.
