Need a sweet and sour sauce reciepe for rice!?

Question

Please, only post a sauce reciepe that YOU have tried before (and liked). This will be going on plain white rice. All the sauces they sell at the grocery store and walmart taste like crap. I'm looking for the red sauce that they serve at chinese restaurants.
