Basic Sweet and Sour Sauce
2 1/2 Tbsp Corn Starch
3/4 cup Sugar
1/3 cup Japanese rice Vinegar ( green Label)
1 tsp Thick Soy
1 tsp sherry
1/3 cup water

Mix all ingredients. stir contantly and bring to boil.
( Sauce will thicken - depending where you live you can
use less corn starch or more for a thick or thin sauce)
Use as dip for deep fried wontons. or Lumpia
Made this one for years - just a great recipe
you can experiment and use less sugar - to your taste.

Marye, this sauce sounds yummy. One question. . .what is the 'thick soy' in this recipe. I've never heard of it.
Thanks!

Hi
the brand i have is" Koon Chun " Thick Soy Sauce it a 16 oz
jar. (it is very dark and thick and sweet)
I think you could either leave it out - or perhaps
use bean molasses as a sub.( I think the sauce adds
to the recipe)
I get it at a oriental grocery store - or in
china town. Most grocery stores do not carry it
but you could always ask for a special order.

Thick soy sauce - is also called Kecap Manis. It's molasses thick but tastes quite different. Most supermarkets carry it - my brand is "ABC"
Definition: Kecap manis is a sweetish, thick soy sauce made with palm sugar and seasoned with star anise and garlic. A popular tool of Indonesian cooks, it can be used as a dip, and some people like to use it as a substitute for dark soy sauce in recipes.

This is from a resturant that sells lumpia. It is equal amounts of sugar, vinegar and banana ketchup. Thats it!!! No cooking just mix up to dissolve the sugar. It is so good on lumpia.
