“Sweet and sour takeaway chicken, at home.”
The bittersweetness of takeaways
In the UK, sweet and sour chicken is one of the most popular dishes ordered from the local Chinese takeaway. Sharwood's 's Sweet & Sour Cooking Sauce is based on the classic recipe: a glossy, orange-red sauce that's both sweet and tangy, with a hint of fruit. There's nothing spicy here; it's the mildest sauce in the range, appealing to both children and adults.
A homemade takeaway
Stir-fry pieces of chicken or pork in a wok, add bell peppers, onion, and a few pieces of pineapple, then pour in the sauce and let it heat through for a few minutes. It's ready in 15 minutes. Our tip: coat the meat with a little cornstarch before browning it; it will become crispy and hold the sauce better, just like takeaway.

Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know
What is the Marmite ?
It's a savory spread made from yeast extract, with a strong and very distinctive flavor. The British spread it in a thin layer on buttered toast. Its slogan says it all: "You either love it or hate it."
What is brown sauce, like HP Sauce?
It's a thick, slightly spicy brown sauce made with tomatoes, malt vinegar, dates, and tamarind. Essential to the English breakfast and the famous bacon sandwich, HP Sauce has been the most well-known version for over a century.
What is the difference between a chutney and a pickle?
Chutney is a preparation of fruits or vegetables cooked with vinegar, sugar, and spices, like mango chutney, which accompanies curries. British pickles, such as Branston Pickle, are made of small pieces of vegetables in a sweet and sour sauce. They are an essential part of cheddar cheese and a ploughman's lunch.
Why do English crisps have such unique flavors?
Across the Channel, crisps come in flavors rarely found in France: salt & vinegar, prawn cocktail, cheese & onion… Walkers is the iconic brand. Note: in the UK, "chips" refers to French fries!
What are baked beans?
These are white beans cooked in a slightly sweet tomato sauce, a staple of British cuisine. They are served at breakfast, on toast ("beans on toast") or with a baked potato. Heinz Beanz is the benchmark.
What is malt vinegar?
It's a brown vinegar made from malted barley, with a mild, slightly malty taste. It's the one generously poured over fish and chips, and it's also used to make pickles. Sarson's is the most famous.
What is English mustard?
Bright yellow in color, English mustard is much spicier than Dijon mustard. Colman's has been making it since 1814. It is traditionally served with roast beef, sausages and ham, and enhances cheese sauces.
What does anti-waste mean at Candy Dukes ?
At Candy Dukes , nothing goes to waste. Products nearing or past their best-before date are offered at reduced prices, up to 80% off. You get a great deal, and a perfectly good product doesn't end up in the bin. A small step for the planet, and a big treat for those with a sweet tooth.
What is the difference between a DDM and a DLC?
The "use by" date applies to fresh products, such as meat or dairy: once this date has passed, they should no longer be consumed. The "best before" date applies to grocery products: sweets, biscuits, teas, canned goods, sauces, etc. After this date, the product remains safe to eat. Only its quality may change slightly. To reduce food waste, we only offer products with a "best before" date, never with a "use by" date.
