Well i made sweet and sour chicken tonigth and we could only get uncle bens sauce i can tell you terrible stuff less flavour than and old sock lol it is terrible , nothing compared to our usual hubbards from saiunsburys
Funny you should say that. Uncle Bens Sweet and sour is our GoTo with chicken, but I'm getting us migrated over to Lidl's own brand which is a close second 55p! (Aldis is a bit rubbish) I see Uncle Ben at Sainsburys is £2 which is ridiculous. I'll try Hubbards (75p)
I augment a 500g jar of Uncle Ben with half a small onion, a couple of sliced tomatoes and a few bits of re-hydrated carrot sticks and red peppers. Then add a level Tsp of sugar and an extra splash of vinegar. The same additions to other brands.
At the price of those Lidl and Hubbards sauces, it's well worth using them as a base.
There's a world of difference between Sweet & Sour sauce for chicken and one for fried pork or for dipping. It's actually extremely easy to make an Uncle Ben equivalent. I can feel a batch cook coming up
(1 part sugar, 1 part vinegar, 3 parts sauce/ketchup + a few bits of pineapple and carrot)

Graceful Degradation! Prepping's objective summed up in two words. Turning Disaster into Mild Inconvenience by the power of fore-thought
