Come Dine In

Hubby bought this meatballs for us to try, anyways it’s on sale (from £1.99 to £0.99). When I fried it, it tasted really great and daughter loved it too. But I don’t find just frying it all the time healthy so I thought of adding sweet and sour sauce to it for a change and for a healthier option. I remembered cooking sweet and sour meatballs before, but that was using my home-made meatballs and so by using this, it’s already saved me half the time and effort.

INGREDIENTS:

meatballs

3 tbsps. white wine vinegar

2 tbsps. cane vinegar

3 tbsps. catsup (I used UFC Banana catsup)

3 tbsp. sugar (brown is better)

1/8 cup soy sauce

2 tbsp. oyster sauce (optional – sorry I just feel like adding oyster sauce to almost everything! )

salt & pepper

1 tsp. cornstarch

1 medium onion

2 cloves garlic

1/2 green bell pepper

1 medium carrot (this I forgot )

METHOD:

1. Fry the meatballs until golden brown. Set aside.

2. In a small bowl, combine all the ingredients except for onion, garlic, bell pepper and carrot. Adjust the sourness and sweetness to your liking.

3. In the same pan where you fry your meatballs, saute the onion and garlic. Pour in the mixed sauces and let bubble for a few minutes. You may add some water if needed. Add in the carrots until almost cooked before adding in the bell pepper. Let it bubble for a few more minutes so bell pepper is cooked.

4. Add the fried meatballs and leave for a minute or 2 so meatballs can absorb the flavor of the sauce.

5. Serve with rice.
