I hope you enjoy this recipe. I have served this in my restaurant for over 6 years and at my dad's restaurant for over 10 years.

The measurements aren't 100% exact as we create large batches of this sauce but tweak it to be sweeter or more sour as you please.

If you want to find me, I am probably on one of these platforms showcasing my “kungfu” like Bruce Lee to the Western world!
