Recipe - Fried Tilapia with Slawesome Sweet & Sour Sauce
It was the sauce that really impressed us as there are a lot of applications for use. Simple and quick in preparation, complex in flavor and you could really taste the Slawsa. Could be a great dip for egg rolls or as a topping for fish or pork. Recipe courtesy of Caroline Holbrook of North Carolina.
