Plum sauce explained

Plum sauce is a viscous, light-brown sweet and sour condiment. It is used in Cantonese cuisine as a dip for deep-fried dishes, such as spring rolls, noodles, deep-fried chicken balls and roast duck. It is made from sweet plums or other fruit such as peach, pineapple or apricot, along with sugar, vinegar, salt, ginger and chili peppers.^{[1] [2]}

Detroit-style plum sauce is a variation of Chinese-American plum sauce found in most Chinese restaurants in the southeastern Michigan area. It is a watery, sweet, vinegar-based sauce that offers a much stronger flavor.^[3]
