Sweet and sour sauce for chicken
Description
A delicious addition to both everyday and festive dishes. I've always loved Asian cuisine for its unusual combination of ingredients and bold, vibrant flavors, such as in this recipe for sweet and sour chicken sauce. I make it quite often and sometimes use it not only with meat, but also with seafood, pasta, or grains—actually, no matter where you use it, it always turns out delicious. This sauce is very handy because you can prepare a larger batch, use part of it for chicken, and save the rest for something else. With its sophisticated and interesting taste, this simple sweet and sour chicken sauce allows you to prepare dishes just as good as in a restaurant—believe me. It's perfect served with pasta, meat, and vegetables.
