SWEET AND SOUR SAUCE FOR CHICKEN/PORK/FISH
One of the many things I love to do is to collect local and home-made cookbooks! I found this wonderful recipe in a cookbook I bought from my local thrift store.

Steps:
- 1. In a medium sauce pot; drizzle a little oil in the bottom.
- 2. Saute garlic and ginger for approx 3-5 minutes on med-low heat, making sure it does not burn. The smell will be strong :).
- 3. While the garlic and ginger are cooking; In a medium bowl combine the following: Vinegar, Warm Water, Corn Starch, Soy Sauce, Salt, Sugar, Juice AND Zest from 1/2 the Lemon. Whisk together until completely combined. [Zest the whole lemon and set 1/2 of it aside for later]
- 4. Once Garlic/Ginger is done add the liquid mixture. __________________________________________________ **Tip: A careful cook will taste the liquid mix to make sure the sweet and sour tastes balance BEFORE combining with Ginger/Garlic mix**
- 5. Cook at medium heat about 5-10 minutes; stirring every few minutes until it has a glossy like sheen and has a honey like consistency.
- 6. Add 1 tablespoon sesame seeds into the sauce.
- 7. Ladle into small bowls and serve with your favorite Asian dish! Decorate bowls with a pinch of the lemon zest you set aside and/or finely chopped spring onion (the green part). You can even used shredded carrots. Enjoy! :)
- 8. ________________________________________________ ** Another Tip: Have leftover sauce? - Use as a marinade! ** ________________________________________________
