Sweet and Sour Sauce

Sweet and Sour Sauce

EverydaySweetened

Sweet and sour sauce is a Chinese-inspired condiment characterized by its bold balance of sugary and tangy flavors, typically achieved with sugar, vinegar, and fruit juices like pineapple. Commercial versions often contain high levels of added sugars and sodium, making portion control important for those monitoring carbohydrates or blood pressure. This glossy, thickened sauce is widely used as a glaze for stir-fried meats, a dipping accompaniment for spring rolls, or a flavor enhancer for grain bowls.
