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.{{Cite web|date=2017-09-12|title=Authentic Chinese Plum Sauce|url=https://www.daringgourmet.com/homemade-chinese-plum-sauce-duck-sauce/|access-date=2022-02-22|website=The Daring Gourmet|language=en-US}}{{Cite web|date=2016-09-01|title=Asian Plum Sauce - Plum Sauce Recipe|url=https://www.thefoodblog.net/asian-plum-sauce/|access-date=2022-02-22|website=The Food Blog|language=en-US}}

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 weaker flavor compared to traditionally prepared plum sauce.{{Citation needed|date=September 2024}}
