Sweet and sour dishes trace their origins to Chinese cuisine. The original sweet and sour sauce is said to have come from Hunan, a province in China. It was a combination of light vinegar and sugar and was initially used as a condiment or dipping sauce for meat and fish rather than cooking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the Philippines, the sweet and sour sauce<\/a>, or agre dulce, consists of cornstarch, water, salt, sugar, ketchup, vinegar, and pineapple juice. The mixture is cooked until thickened and is commonly used as a sarsa for dipping or dousing meat or fish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are so many ways to enjoy this dish. The sweet, tangy, sticky sauce goes well with almost any protein, from lean chicken and meaty fish to crispy tofu.
