Preparing the Sweet & Sour Sauce

To prepare the sauce, mix all of the ingredients together, making sure that the cornstarch has completely dissolved. Set aside.

  • 1 1/2 tsp dark (black) soy sauce
  • 1 1/2 tsp sesame oil
  • 1 1/2 tbsp rice vinegar
  • 1 1/2 tbsp ketchup

Soy sauce

Is black soy sauce the same as dark soy sauce? This recipe seems to mention black and plain. Is the plain light soy sauce?

RE: Soy Sauce

Yes, black soy sauce is the same as dark soy sauce. It is darker, richer, thicker and slightly sweeter than soy sauce. Plain soy sauce is the lighter type. Cheers!
