While searching for this popular sauce, I came across a copycat recipe by Todd Wilbur. He is well-known for cloning restaurant recipes, and his version is incredibly close to the real deal. Although I couldn't find some of the ingredients, I managed to locate the sauce in a market; it is manufactured and marketed by Veeba in India and is available at select gourmet stores.

For those interested, Todd Wilbur's recipe suggests using corn starch in place of arrowroot to thicken the sauce over heat. This slight adjustment is worth considering if you want a more authentic texture.

The Star Tribune of St. Paul, Minnesota, also published a recipe in 2010. Although I cannot confirm the accuracy, the recipe seems straightforward and cost-effective. It is definitely worth trying to see how it turns out.

Experiment with this recipe and let your taste buds enjoy the delightful combination of sweet and tangy flavors reminiscent of the Subway Sweet Onion Sauce. Happy cooking!
