Here’s my favorite recipe for Lemon Sauce:
1C water
1/3C sugar
2T lemon juice
2T water mixed with 1T cornstarch
few drops yellow food coloring, if desired

Combine water and sugar in medium saucepan. Cook over medium heat until sugar is dissolved. Add lemon juice and cornstarch mixture and bring to a boil. Stir frequently and cook until sauce is of desired consistency. Taste and add sugar or lemon juice if needed. Add food coloring, if using.

This sounds really simple and, with the exception of the fresh ginger, all the ingredients are staples in the kitchen. Thanks for posting!

I’d try a cup of chicken or veggie broth, a big squeeze of lemon, a tablespoon of cornstarch, and salt and ginger to taste.

Any idea about the recipe for lemon sauce. It is that clear yellow sauce with the same consistency as sweet and sour. Can’t seem to find a good one anywhere.

Will be trying the brown sauce soon. Had tried one before that called for oyster sauce, by wife wasn’t too big on that.
