Nothing can beat homemade spice powders, sauces or else dips. Since they are homemade no preservatives are added, hence they are harmless for the health of our family members. Though some sauces or spice powders are seriously hard to be prepared as homemade, we dont have any other choice than picking them stores. However if you have an option to prepare yourself the spice powders or sauces at home, dont hesitate a second as they may be sometime very easy to dish out. Coming to my today's post, I am an ardent fan of chinese dishes.Obviously i love to prepare their dishes often at home.

The Chinese sauce has a beautiful color so pretty . The flavors of the sauce sound perfectly balanced , how I wish I could eat a Chinese dish made from this sauce.
Wow, Priya this sauce is so delicious and versatile.
Priya your home made sweet and sour sauce looks so good. Brought back memories when years ago a Chinese Chef came to my sister in law's place and he taught us how to make this sauce.
Beautiful colour Priya..nothing beats homemade sauces or dips!
That sweet and sour sauce looks and sounds so flavorful. Perfect accompaniment to Chinese dishes.
Indeed homemade is the best!! such a lovely colour!!
Homemade is always the best. Great recipe.
Such a vibrant colured sauce,made it so perfect.
this is one of the Chinese dishes I stay far away from I usually find it sickeningly sweet. but I think your homemade version is probably better than the take out restaurant version!
Looks so good with that color!!
I would love to try this sauce with some Chinese noodles or in a soup.
