Sweet & Sour Sauce…


We love this sauce, it is great on its own served with a Chinese fakeaway feast or you can add it to chicken, pork, vegetables, rice and more.

Here are a couple of recipes using this delicious sauce for inspiration…


Some recommended items from our kitchen to make this dish…

  • A big time saver for chopping veg with a veg chopper, from onions to carrots this is a god send to chop quickly.
  • Double sided dry and liquid measuring spoons for times when you need to measure both liquid and dry ingredients.
  • Kilner jars, always handy for storing sauces.
  • Hand held blender to blitz with ease, just don’t do it whilst piping hot.
