This was really good! It was a little more "sweet" than "sour" for my taste, but next time I will cut back on the sugar. Everyone enjoyed it, thanks for sharing!

This is delightful. As a vegetarian university student I am always on the lookout for tasty, easy recipes, and this is definitely a winner.

This is the BEST sweet and sour sauce I've found. Absolutely delicious! I've used it for tofu instead of seitan, or just veggies alone. It's super easy to mix and match the vegetables to use whatever is on hand. I've made this a lot, and it's turned out perfect every time. Virtually fool proof.
