Restaurant style Chinese sweet and sour sauce. Does anyone know how to make it exactly please?
The syrup in the sauce seems to be of thread consistency. I wonder if they use Golden syrup or any other. It is definitely not the type of sauce we make from sweet and sour sauce recipes at home and it is bright red in color.

Answers:
2 tbsp cornflour
5 tbsp vinegar
2 teaspoons soy sauce
3-4 tblsp brown sugar
1/2 pint chicken stock
1 (14oz can pineapple pieces)
1 tin chopped tomatoes (I prefer to liquidise these before I use them)
1 red pepper (seeded and sliced)
1 carrot (Sliced into julien style)
In a pan blend the cornflour with a little cold water, stir in the vinegar, soy sauce, sugar and chicken stock. Bring slowly to the boil stirring until mixture thickens, stir in the pineapple and tomatoes, red pepper and carrot.
If you want it thicker add more cornflour.
