1 tablespoon of cooking wine, 2 tablespoons of soy sauce, 3 tablespoons of sugar, 4 tablespoons of vinegar and 5 tablespoons of water are the main ingredients of sweet and sour sauce. It is best to simmer the rock sugar until golden brown, which will make the color of the finished dish more attractive. Then add the balsamic vinegar. Be sure to continue to simmer for a few moments after putting in the balsamic vinegar, so that the acetic acid in the sweet and sour sauce evaporates some and reduces the stimulation of the vinegar, so that the taste will be mellow and delicious. If you are worried about controlling the heat, you can also directly put the rock sugar, balsamic vinegar and a little water into the frying pan and simmer it over medium-low heat until it thickens, and the flavor is not affected. When the sweet and sour sauce runs down in a line when poured, you can add the ribs to the wok and stir-fry.
The golden ratio of sweet and sour sauce: 1 wine, 2 sauce, 3 sugar, 4 vinegar, 5 water.
