  1. super sauce, could have been a little thicker but that is easily fixed. I used it for sweet and sour chicken and it was fantstic, when I make it again I will make it a little sweeter(personal preference). This is a wonderfully light and easy sauce I really enjoyed it, thanks.
     
  2. I found this sauce to be quite tasty. However, I thought that the amount of cornstarch needed to be increased to about 1 Tbs. in order to achieve the proper consistency.
     
  3. This is just wonderful! I used it for meatballs, and make a nice salad with it. We all loved the sauce! Thanks!
     
  4. Fantastic! I would give it 10 stars if I could. This is by far the Best Sweet and Sour sauce that I have ever tasted, and I am so glad to have found this recipe. Especially since it had all good ingredients, and no ketchup. I made this to go with some Asian Meatballs, and the sauce was so good on them that I also decided to serve it with my homemade eggrolls!Thank You!
