I used this for the sweet and sour pork dish I made and it was quite nice! I battered the pork pieces with Aroostook's "Batter for Sweet and Sour Shrimp" recipe #26559, then fried those, then stir-fried them with green peppers, onions, and carrots and the sweet and sour sauce to finish the dish. I will definitely make this again, perhaps with other sweet and sour dishes, and even as a dipping sauce for dim sum. Thanks for a great recipe!
