Sauce
4 tbsp of tomato ketchup
2 tbsp of sweet chili sauce
Juice of 2 lemon

ReplyDeleteThat looks like a classic sweet and sour dish - I think the glaze from the sugar is what makes it instantly identifiable as sweet and sour. But this is the first time I've seen meatballs in a sweet-and-sour sauce.
