    I simply can not imagine any Indo Chinese restaurant meal without the sweet and sour vegetables. Fried rice and sweet and sour vegetable gravy for me is a perfect match made in heaven. It perfectly highlights the flavour of the fried rice. Lots of vegetables are stir fried and then cooked in a sweet and sour gravy which is made with various sauces.

    Though like other Indo Chinese dishes I have used little bit of corn flour to thicken it but still I like to call it semi healthy recipe because so many veggies. With this sweet and sour gravy on your plate with some veggie fried rice one thing I can assure you is you will never fall short on your veggie quota 😀

    Which vegetables to Use in Chinese Sweet and Sour Vegetables

    Traditionally fresh green onion, carrots, bell peppers are used in making sweet and sour vegetable gravy. Most of the times when cooking any dish in home I  like to add whatever complimentary veggies I have in my fridge. At times I add eggplant too {If you have not tried eggplant/baingan } in Chinese gravy till now You are majorly missing on something really good! Do try next time and then Thank me later :P. On serious note In my last hot n sour soup recipe someone asked can they use frozen vegetables for making Indo Chinese gravy /soups ? The answer is though fresh always taste better in stir fries just use fresh bell peppers and rest of the frozen vegetables in Chinese gravies you will be fine.

    How to Make Hot and sour vegetable flavourful

    • As such hot and sour vegetable gravy is quite flavourful because of various sauces used. I have used two types of chilli sauces, whole chillies and tomato ketchup to add the sweetness. To add sour taste vinegar is added. To thicken the sauce you need to add little bit of cornflour mixed in water otherwise the gravy may become watery.
    • You can adjust thickness of the gravy by adding more water if you like it thinner, or add more corn starch if you like it thicker than this.
    • The hotness of the sauce can be adjusted by adjusting the amount of red chillies used, you can add more or skip as per your taste preference.

    Most the these ingredients are easily available in your kitchen pantry. So If you love Indo Chinese food then go on and try sweet and sour vegetable gravy recipe today, I know you won’t be disappointed 🙂 Did I tell you there is another plus? You can get the dinner on table in 20-30 minutes including fried rice if you have done your ingredient prep during the weekend like I do.
