As I told in the post Homemade Five-spice Powder, I prepared a special romantic dinner with chinese dishes for both Valentine's Day and Chinese New Year.
I cooked stuffed wonton, spring rolls, fried sesame croutons, ginger soup, cantonese rice, five spices omelette, pechinese spare ribs and two sauces.

This is one of them: the sweet and sour sauce for steamed wonton, spring rolls and other chinese fried starters.
