Sour plum sauce
Description
Recipe for homemade sauce. I make this sour plum sauce at home once a year, but then enjoy it all year round, serving it occasionally with meat or chicken. This sauce has a very rich flavor, combining sweet, sour, salty, and spicy elements—typical of Chinese cuisine! Therefore, I don't recommend serving this sauce with fish or turkey; it pairs perfectly with red meat, though.
