Good! I like it very much!!

Sorry guys but this isn't how you will get the right flavour. Hes using way too much chicken stock, and I would not add the dark soy sauce, he also missed out the pineapple which would give it the sweetness it needs.

Those prawns are going to be well overcooked.

try adding pineapple juice. 1/2 chicken stock and 1/2 pineapple juice and up your sugar (brown if you have it) to 1 Tbsp.

I made this a couple of days ago - it certainly looked like sweet and sour but didnt taste like it. I tried to make it a tad sweeter by adding a tsp of honey but that didnt seem to make any difference either. :-(
