Easy to make, good sauce. I had made little Indonesian spiced chicken meatballs and this sauce complemented our meal very nicely. We had some sauce left and I can also add that it freezes well. Thanks for posting. Made for PAC-Spring 2010.

This was so easy to prepare! It is a really good sweet & sour sauce that I added meatballs as the recipe calls for, which I served it all over hot steamed white rice. The sauce was done just about the same time that our rice was ready to serve, so it was great to have a complete meal in about 20 minutes. Thanks for sharing your recipe, Half Hearted Chef.
