Why I NEVER Order Sweet and Sour Pork Balls Anymore!

Описание: Sweet and Sour Pork Balls - Why is this not more popular?!?!

Sweet and sour pork balls is possibly one of the first dishes that appeared on Chinese restaurant/takeout menus across the Western world. It’s still on most menus but its popularity has waned and people dismiss it as boring and uninspiring. Well either we’ve forgotten how good it is or the establishments are cooking it wrong because this is a fabulous dish. Crispy, light batter encasing juicy pieces of pork, finished with a simple but oh so good sweet and sour sauce - how is that not good?!?!! Well here’s a chance for you to make a takeaway original and remind yourself just how good this dish can be.
Enjoy!!!
