What’s the ultimate recipe for egg roll dipping sauce? I might be a bit of an outlier, but I’d really enjoy learning to make a sauce similar to what you find in Chinese takeout, or a sweet and sour sauce that doesn’t include ketchup. Any suggestions?

    You’re not alone in wanting a great dipping sauce for egg rolls! Here’s a simple recipe for a sweet and sour sauce without ketchup that captures that delicious takeout flavor:

    Sweet and Sour Sauce (without Ketchup)

    Ingredients:

    • 1/2 cup pineapple juice
    • 1/4 cup rice vinegar (or white vinegar)
    • 1/4 cup sugar
    • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
    • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
    • 2 tablespoons water
    • 1 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
    • 1 teaspoon ginger powder (optional)
    • A pinch of red pepper flakes (optional, for a little heat)

    Instructions:

    1. Combine Ingredients: In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the pineapple juice, rice vinegar, sugar, and soy sauce. Stir to dissolve the sugar.

    2. Thicken the Sauce: In a separate small bowl, mix the cornstarch with the water until smooth. Once the mixture in the saucepan is heated through, add the cornstarch mixture and stir continuously until the sauce thickens, about 2-3 minutes.

    3. Add Flavors: If desired, you can stir in garlic powder, ginger powder, and red pepper flakes for extra flavor.

    4. Cool and Serve: Remove the sauce from heat and let it cool slightly before serving. It can be served warm or at room temperature.

    Feel free to adjust the sweetness or acidity to your taste by adding more sugar or vinegar, depending on your preference. Enjoy your egg rolls with this delicious homemade sauce!
