How to Make Sweet Sour Sauce
- In a medium saucepan, whisk together 1/2 cup granulated sugar, 1/4 cup cornstarch, 1/4 cup rice vinegar, and 1/4 teaspoon salt until completely smooth and free of lumps.
- Add 1 cup water, 1/2 cup ketchup, 1/4 cup soy sauce, and 2 tablespoons pineapple juice. Whisk vigorously to combine.
- Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly. The sauce will thicken quickly, so be diligent! Cook until the sauce comes to a simmer and thickens, about 5-7 minutes.
- Remove from heat and stir in a few drops of red food coloring until you reach your desired shade of red. Start with a small amount and add more as needed.
- Serve immediately over your favorite cooked meats (chicken, pork, tofu), rice, or noodles. Enjoy!
