Been searching for a sweet and sour recipe for a while, and this one is perfect! I did not add the MSG or the red food coloring. I did add sesame oil, only like a few drops since it is super strong.

I did not use the MSG or the food coloring but I did add a touch of red pepper flake. Even without that, this tasted pretty close to restaurant-made sweet and sour sauce. My husband thought it was a little too sour and I thought it was a touch too salty so I might play with the vinegar and salt a little.

thanks for sharing this recipe! its the closest to the one i had (and lost and had been making for yrs)and use it to make sweet n sour chicken. i reduced the vinegar and sugar (used half cup each), omitted the salt, msg, and food colouring and substituted the pineapple concentrate for the juice that comes in the pineapple can.

Just made this sauce for a "TRUE BLOOD" party tonight and I'm here to say this is "broke da mout Ono!" that is to say "this is one tasty sauce!" I like it much, much, better than what is served here on the Big Island. Only mad two changes. Used only 3/4c of vinegar and no MSG. I did use the red dye and I'm glad I did as it gave it a pleasant color and I think a little "eye appeal" goes along way with presentation. I'm mean come on people, what harm is 3 little drops going of food coloring going to do? This is being pared with Uncle Bills Chicken Strips from this site. A Hui HO!!

This recipe was easy to make, everyone loved it. I am going to make a big batch and pour it over meatballs and bring to a stag that I am going to next weekend. I also left out the msg & food colouring, I took other reviewers advice and decreased the vinegar. Thanks for a simple recipe that even I can make.

This is really good tasting. I had to reduce the vinegar by half. I had no pineapple concentrate and had only a 1/2 c. of juice from some canned pineapple. I didn't use the red food coloring either - my finished product is such a dark brown due to the soy sauce, that no amount of food coloring could have had an impact. However, even with all of the above, this is excellent and I will be making it again. I served it with shrimp cooked in Unbelievable Fish Batter from this website. Great dinner.

Just made this and it is a keeper. My husband loved it but I found it was too much vinegar, so will cut down to 3/4 cup next time. I did not have garlic powder so substituted garlic salt and omitted the seasoned salt. I added a little marachino cherry juice in place of the red food dye and omitted the msg. I added chunked pineapple, green pepper and onion and served it over brown rice and breaded chicken chunks. Do need to thicken a little more next time. Will also use garlic powder and seasoned salt next time. Lynn

With the exception of not having the pineapple concentrate on hand, I made no adjustments to the recipe and it was truly very tasty. The authors comments about chicken and ribs are a clue to its use however. This is a more sour sauce that is best with meat. I made this as a dipping sauce for some crab puffs we made and it was not a good fit. We keep small 6 oz. cans of pineapple juice in our liquor cabinet so I used one of those and therefore needed a bit extra cornstarch. Next time I make this for anything not 'meat glaze' based, I will drop the vinegar to 1/2 C, 1/4 water, and use extra pineapple juice for the other liquid.
