Sweet and Sour Sauce Recipe (5 Minutes)
This sweet and sour sauce recipe comes together in about 5 minutes and thickens quickly on the stove. You’ll whisk ketchup, brown sugar, an extra sweetener, and vinegar in a small saucepan, then warm it gently until smooth. It’s handy for chicken, meatballs, noodles, or roasted veggies.

01
Combine the ingredients
Add the ketchup, brown sugar, extra sweetener, and vinegar to a small saucepan. Whisk until the mixture looks even.

Warm and smooth
Set the pan over low to medium heat. Stir for 3–5 minutes until the sugars dissolve and the sauce slightly thickens, then remove from the heat.
03
Rest and serve
Let it sit for 2 minutes, then serve warm or at room temperature. If you want it thicker, cook 1 more minute while stirring.
