Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 3 cups finely shredded cabbage
  • 1/2 cup cornflour (cornstarch)
  • 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp ginger-garlic paste
  • 1 green chili, finely chopped
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • Vegetable oil, for deep frying
  • 1 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 1 tbsp finely chopped garlic
  • 1 tsp grated ginger
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp chili sauce
  • 2 tbsp tomato ketchup
  • 1 tbsp rice vinegar
  • 1 tsp sugar
  • 1/4 cup water (optional)
  • 2 tbsp chopped spring onions

Method
 

  1. Heat oil to 350°F. In a bowl, mix cabbage, cornflour, flour, ginger-garlic paste, chili, and salt. Shape into tight balls.
  2. Fry balls in batches for 4-5 mins until golden; drain on paper towels.
  3. In a pan, heat oil, sauté garlic and ginger for 30 secs. Add soy sauce, chili sauce, ketchup, vinegar, and sugar; simmer 1 min. Add water for gravy if using.
  4. Add fried balls, toss to coat. Garnish with spring onions and serve hot.

Notes

For the crispiest texture, serve right away. If you need to hold them, keep the fried balls and sauce separate until the last moment.
