Just made a mn sweet and sour sauce recipe

[tealover1985]

And it was bloody delicious! And so easy to make too. What other sauces are easy to make from scratch?

Particularly interested if anyone knows how to make a sauce similar to the uncle bens creamy tomato pasta bake sauce - do you just whack a bit of mascapone into a bolognase type sauce?

can you link to the recipe? I fancy sweet and sour!

BBQ sauce

1 onion finely chopped
150mL tomato ketchup
3tbsp Worcestershire sauce
2tbsp brown sugar
2tbsp wine vinegar

Fry the onion in a little oil gently for 5 mins. Add the other ingredeints and simmer for 5 mins, make sure sugar is all dissolved.

Satay sauce

6tbsp crunchy peanut butter
1tbsp sweet chilli sauce
2tbs dark soy sauce
4tbsp boiling water

Stir to mix.

Sweet and sour

9tbsp tomato ketchup
3tbsp wine vinegar
4tbsp sugar (any)
2 chopped cloves garlic.

Simmer it all for 5 mins, make sure sugar is all dissolved

I think I've attached the screenshot of the one I used...

Thanks, will definitely be trying the satay one, I love satay sauce. I'm trying to cook more from scratch as currently weaning ds, going forward I want him to eat what we eat.

satay sauce: how would you cook the meat to go with it. I was thinking of making sauce then tipping over strips of chicken and placing in oven?

I don't do the conventional strips of meat on skewers thing, I mainly use it for a dressing on a salad. If I was going to I would probably put a little on the meat and grill it but keep the bulk of it for dipping.

The salad we use it for consists of rice noodles cooked and rinsed with cold water till completely chilled, mixed with lots of shredded spring onion and carrot, topped with either shredded poached chicken breast or poached fresh salmon and then the satay sauce.

thank you

I have dislocated my fingers so everything is tricky. bored of same foods. uesually like cooking. will use adapted gh recipe and stick in oven
