Chinese Sweet And Sour Pork Balls


Here's how to make Chinese sweet and sour pork balls with a crispy batter. This recipe is a Chinese takeaway classic and tastes so good.


PREP TIME 15 mins

COOK TIME 20 mins

TOTAL TIME 35 mins

SERVINGS: 16 Balls

INGREDIENTS

  • 300 g Diced Pork
  • 1 tsp Salt
  • 1 tsp White Pepper
  • 1 tbsp Dark Soy Sauce Or Light Soy Sauce
  • 2 tbsp Self-Raising Flour

Pork Ball Batter

  • 200 g Self-Raising Flour
  • 200 ml Water
  • 1 tsp Salt
  • 1 tsp Vegetable Oil

Sweet And Sour Sauce

  • 230 ml Water
  • 3 tbsp Sugar
  • 3 tbsp Ketchup
  • 3 tbsp Vinegar
  • 2 tbsp Pineapple Juice
  • 1 tsp Cornflour Mixed With 1 tbsp Water

INSTRUCTIONS

  1. Add diced pork into a mixing bowl. Add salt, dark soy sauce and white pepper to the mixing bowl and mix together until evenly distributed.
  2. Then add 2 tablespoons of self-raising flour to the mixing bowl and coat the diced pork with the flour.
  3. In a separate bowl, add self-raising flour and salt and mix until evenly distributed. Then pour water into the bowl and mix together.
  4. Leave the batter to rest for 5 minutes as this will help remove any lumps. Once 5 minutes have passed, add a teaspoon of vegetable oil and mix together until evenly distributed.
  5. Heat oil in a pan over a medium heat. Depending on the size of your mixing bowl, coat 3 to 4 pieces of pork at a time into the batter.
  6. (Add more or less depending on the size of mixing bowl you are using.)
  7. Add the battered pieces of pork into the oil and fry for 4 minutes or until the batter is golden. They’ll float to the top when they’re cooked.
  8. Place water, ketchup, sugar, pineapple juice and vinegar into a clean pan and heat over a medium to high heat. 
  9. Leave the sauce to simmer for 2 minutes before mixing a small teaspoon of cornflour with a tablespoon of water.
  10. Pour the cornflour mixture into the sauce and mix until evenly distributed. Leave the sauce to simmer for a further 2 minutes or until the sauce has thickened.

And as alwayds have a chilled day from the Viking
