This sweet and sour sauce is perfect for dipping fried foods like lumpia, fried chicken, fries, and our favorite in the house – squash fritters. It’s quick, easy, and inexpensive. You can make this ahead of time and place the sauce in a glass jar with tight fitting lid and store it in the refrigerator.
