Personal Notes:
This is a basic sweet and sour sauce we use to top Chinese fried rice, or to create sweet and sour Vegis, tofu etc.

This recipe originated with Nana. She took Chinese cooking classes from Kwan during the 60's, also where she learned to make her shoyu chicken recipe. Kwan went on to establish a successful Chinese restaurant called Kwan's, in Salem, Or, which is still here today.
