How about some colorful and delicious Sweet and Sour Stir-Fry for dinner tonight! Homemade sweet and sour sauce not only tastes much better in my opinion but you’re also in control of how much and what kind of sweetener you want to use. And of course no wanted additives!
I used soy curls for this recipe but you can make it with tofu, tempeh, chickpeas, or just veggies!

- You can also use coconut or another type of sugar instead of maple syrup.
