I'm not a big fan of sweet and sour sauce, but this one is actually pretty good. It's not too sweet or sour, and it has a nice balance of flavors.

This dipping sauce is amazing! It's so easy to make and it's so delicious. I used it with some fried spring rolls and it was the perfect complement. The sauce is sweet, sour, and a little bit spicy. It's the perfect balance of flavors.
