Cookbook:Sweet and Sour Sauce

| Meat Recipes

This is a simple sweet-and-sour sauce that works well as an everyday meal, even with leftover meat. It is best served with rice, and perhaps also steamed vegetables. The sauce alone (no meat, cherries, or pineapple chunks) can be poured over rice or used as a dip for egg rolls.

Ingredients

 * ½ cup brown sugar
 * 1 tablespoon cornstarch
 * ⅓ cup red wine vinegar
 * 1 tablespoon soy sauce
 * 1 can (20 oz / 567 g) pineapple chunks in unsweetened juice
 * Maraschino cherries
 * Celery, chopped
 * Cooked meat (suggested: chicken or pork) or fish (optional)
 * Cooked rice

Procedure

 * 1) Mix the brown sugar and corn starch in a saucepan.
 * 2) Add the vinegar, soy sauce, and most of the pineapple juice
 * 3) Heat to boiling while stirring constantly.
 * 4) Reduce heat, then add pineapple chunks, cherries, celery, and cooked meat.
 * 5) Cook until celery begins to soften.
 * 6) Serve sauce with cooked rice.
