KITTENCAL'S CHINESE CHICKEN BALLS WITH SWEET AND SOUR SAUCE
Don't bother ordering Chinese chicken balls make these at home they are just as good if not even better and the sweet and sour sauce is the same as what is served at your Chinese restaurant!-- these are a great weekend snack or can be served as appetizers, if you want some extra flavor to you chicken batter feel free to add in some garlic or onion powder or spices of choice --- this makes a large amount so you may want to reduce the chicken ball batter amount by half (using 4 chicken breasts) --- NOTE: the sauce recipe is one you may have to make a few times before you get the consistancy and sweetness to your liking, 1 cup white sugar and 1/2 cup lightly packed brown will give you a sweet sauce you may reduce the white sugar amount by a few tablespoons

KITTENCAL'S FAMOUS BARBECUE SAUCE FOR CHICKEN AND RIBS
This is the best barbecue sauce, and trust me I have experimented with hundreds of different combinations over the years, this is even better than any of the popular bottled sauces! ---plan ahead this sauce must be made one day in advance to allow the flavors to blend and intensify, don't even think about using it the same day it is made, this sauce will take on a whole different flavor when simmered for 1 hour and left overnight in the fridge--- the ingredients can easily be doubled but keep the garlic amount no more than 2 tablespoons, and for the best flavor use only Heinz ketchup and a good quality brand of yellow mustard, I use French's mustard it really will make a difference in the taste, please do not omit the liquid smoke --- yield is only estimated as the sauce will reduce after simmering for 1 hour or more ---*NOTE* for a smoother low fat sauce omit the oil, onion and fresh garlic, then in the saucepan mix all remaining ingredients together and add in 1 teaspoon each garlic powder and onion powder then simmer for 1 hour -----you will love this sauce!

Steps:
- In a saucepan, heat the olive oil; saute the onions, Italian seasoning and oregano for about 2-3 minutes, stirring until soft but not brown.
- Add in garlic and saute for 2 minutes, stirring constantly.
- Add in the tomato paste; stir and cook 1 minute.
- Add in the remaining ingredients; cook and simmer on low heat for 1/2 to 3/4 hours, stirring occasionally, adding more salt if needed (the longer you cook this sauce the thicker and richer it will be!).
- Cool slightly and use immediately or refrigerate up to 5 days or you may freeze.
- *NOTE* freeze in plastic containers after cooled, I find that this sauce tastes even better if left in the fridge overnight to blend the flavors before using or freezing.
- Delicious!
Tips:
- Mise en place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all your ingredients and equipment ready. This will help you stay organized and avoid scrambling during the cooking process.
- Use fresh ingredients: The fresher your ingredients, the better your sauce will taste. If possible, try to use organic or locally-sourced produce.
- Don't skimp on the pineapple: Pineapple is a key ingredient in sweet and sour sauce. Be sure to use fresh pineapple, not canned pineapple, for the best flavor.
- Use a good quality soy sauce: Soy sauce is another important ingredient in sweet and sour sauce. Be sure to use a good quality soy sauce, such as Kikkoman or Yamasa.
- Balance the flavors: Sweet and sour sauce should be a balance of sweet, sour, and savory flavors. If your sauce is too sweet, add more vinegar or lemon juice. If it's too sour, add more sugar or honey.
- Thicken the sauce: If your sauce is too thin, you can thicken it with cornstarch or flour. Be sure to mix the cornstarch or flour with a little water before adding it to the sauce, to avoid lumps.
- Serve immediately: Sweet and sour sauce is best served immediately after it is made. If you need to store the sauce, let it cool completely before transferring it to an airtight container and refrigerating it for up to 3 days.
Conclusion:
Sweet and sour sauce is a delicious and versatile sauce that can be used to flavor a variety of dishes. It's perfect for chicken, pork, shrimp, and tofu. It can also be used as a dipping sauce for egg rolls, spring rolls, and other appetizers. With its sweet, sour, and savory flavors, sweet and sour sauce is sure to please everyone at your table.
