Hello Friends!
Here is the promised recipe for my amazing (if I may say so myself?!) sweet and sour sauce. This recipe is the culmination of the ingredients in it and a lot of frustration over not finding a decent bottled sweet 'n sour sauce variant. The recipe is my own and is open for your use. I think it's best served over chicken stir-fry, but also works with a beef or veg stir-fry. If you find any other great combinations, drop a comment! Also, it takes approximately 10 minutes to prepare which is a bonus when you don't have much time on your hands! x
Ingredients - [serves 4 comfortably]
6 Tablespoons of white vinegar
5 heaped teaspoons of sugar
A finger width slice of butter/margarine/marge spread
A grinding of black pepper
1 Egg
Method -
1. Combine all ingredients EXCEPT the EGG in a small sauce pan and stir until the sugar and butter melt.
2. Once melted and disolved, bring just about to the boil.
3. Get a french whisk ready in hand and Crack the egg into the cup, beating it with a fork until the yellow and yolk are completely mixed.
4. Add the egg mixture and mix with the whisk everything in the sauce pan.
The mixture will start to thicken immediately so take care to beat the egg well aforehand and work quickly once it is added.
This sauce can be made up to an hour ahead and left to stand and reheated slightly before serving it as a side or over your stir-fry.
You will love it! Promise!
