Unofficial Slimming World Sweet and Sour Vegetables – fakeaway recipe
I love sweet and sour sauce, but all the packets or jars that you can buy at the supermarket are high in calories. I experimented with different ideas and this was my favourite and extra easy to make!
If you follow Slimming World, Weight Watchers (WW), Noom or any other weight loss plan you can usually count this as free or easily within your allowances, of course always check your plan for advice.
Making sweet and sour with meat – which meats are best?
If you’re looking to add a little sweetness to your meat and spice up your dinner, look no further than sweet and sour sauce. But which meats work best with this tangy treat?
While chicken and pork are certainly popular choices, don’t be afraid to get a little adventurous. Beef, shrimp, and even tofu can all be delightful when paired with a well-made sweet and sour sauce.
Experiment with different meats and find your own unique flavour combination. Trust me, your taste buds will thank you.
Adaptations to this recipe
If you would like to make a Slimming World sweet and sour chicken then you could adapt this recipe to make that quite easily by swapping the ingredients. In the same way, you could use pork, beef, Quorn or anything else you fancy.
Is this unofficial Slimming World sweet and sour sauce a tweak?
Some Slimming World consultants deem this recipe as a tweak as it uses a drink in a recipe however I personally do not think that is the case as they do not class diet cola chicken as a tweak so where is the difference?
It is of course up to you if you would class this as a tweak or not!
