For our sauce, we use chopped pickles as a base. Pour vegetable oil on a preheated frying pan with high walls and hold it on the fire for 1 minute. Add the pickles to the bowl and simmer for 5 minutes. In a separate bowl, mix potato starch, granulated sugar, wine vinegar, cognac, ginger and tomato paste. Mix everything until smooth. Pour in small portions of water and continue to stir.
Pour the resulting mixture over the cucumbers in a frying pan and simmer all together for 5 minutes over low heat.
Serve sweet and sour Chinese sauce directly on a plate with food or in special cups so that you can dip pieces of meat in it.
