Sweet and Sour Sauce

A quick and easy recipe that can be poured over a dish or used as a dipping sauce.

Yields about 1/2 cup

INGREDIENTS:

1/3 cup white or rice vinegar
4 TB brown sugar
1 TB ketchup
1 tsp soy sauce
2 teaspoons cornstarch mixed with 4 teaspoons water

Mix the vinegar, brown sugar, ketchup, and soy sauce together and bring to a boil in a small pot. Mix together the cornstarch and water, add to the other ingredients and stir to thicken.

(If desired, you can add 1 green pepper, cut into chunks, and pineapple chunks as desired after adding the cornstarch. For a thicker sauce, increase the cornstarch to 4 teaspoons while keeping the water constant.)

Thanks a ton!! I don't know what to say, I am so thankful to you.
Just a small clarification, is cornflour the same as cornstarch?
 
I have a recipe for sweet n sore vegetables may be you could get some idea there. Just check my thread name sweet n sour veggies.
Hope it helps. You can also use chicken with the vegetables.
