How to make Chinese chicken balls JUST like the takeaway!

Описание: Chinese chicken balls with sweet and sour sauce! An absolute favourite in our UK takeaways, and rightly so. Now I am sure these have been requested a few times over the years, but I've finally got around to making them, and they are so easy to do yourself! If you want a good lockdown Chinese recipe to make at home, then this is a great place to start.

If you've ever tried to make Chinese chicken balls at home and wondered why they didn't turn out the same, well I'm here to tell you it's down to one single magical ingredient...MSG. MSG is an umami flavour enhancer that just gives your favourite takeaway that mysterious extra delicious flavour that you just can't pinpoint. So get yourself some, because it has a multitude of uses, and don't panic, you won't grow a third arm out your arse OK!

I am also going to knock up a simple sweet and sour sauce to go with the chicken balls, which is also really easy.
To make my Chinese chicken balls with sweet & sour sauce you will need:
For the Chinese chicken balls
►600g of diced chicken breast
►3/4 tsp of MSG
►Salt and black pepper
For the batter
►150g of self raising flour
►200ml water
►Salt & pepper
For the sweet and sour sauce
►200ml of pineapple juice
►50g of sugar (I used light brown)
►5 tbsp of tomato ketchup
►2 tbsp of light soy sauce
►2 tbsp of white distilled malt vinegar
