Indonesian Sweet and Sour Sauce #1
There must be at least a hundred variations to the recipe for Indonesian Sweet & Sour. This recipe for Babi Pangang Sauce comes from the Indonesian mother-in-law of a friend of ours. So far I have only tried this Sweet and Sour Sauce recipe on Sweet and Sour Pork. However, I'm sure it will also be excellent for making Sweet and Sour Chicken.
For your easy reference: in Malay, Sweet and Sour Chicken is named "Ajam Panggang" or "Ayam Pangang" and Sweet and Sour Pork is named "Babi Panggang" or "Babi Pangang".
