• 2 cups Oil (for frying)
• 1 tablespoon Garlic (finely chopped)
• 1 teaspoon Ginger (finely chopped)
• 2 Green chilies (finely chopped)
• 0.25 cup Spring onion whites (finely chopped)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the grated cabbage, carrot, chopped capsicum, and French beans.

Step 2

Add all-purpose flour, cornstarch, salt, black pepper powder, and soy sauce. Mix well to form a dough-like mixture.

Step 3

Shape small portions of the vegetable mixture into round balls. Ensure they are compact to prevent them from breaking while frying.

Step 4

Heat oil in a deep pan or wok over medium heat. Once hot, carefully drop the vegetable balls into the oil and fry until golden brown. Remove and drain on paper towels. Set aside.

Step 5

For the sauce, heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a wok over medium heat.

Step 6

Add the chopped garlic, ginger, green chilies, and spring onion whites. Sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

Step 7

Stir in the tomato ketchup, red chili sauce, vinegar, and soy sauce. Cook for 1-2 minutes.

Step 8

In a small bowl, dissolve 1 tablespoon of cornstarch in 1 cup of water to make a slurry. Slowly pour this mixture into the wok while stirring continuously to prevent lumps.

Step 9

Simmer the sauce for 2-3 minutes until it thickens to a desired consistency. Adjust salt and pepper to taste.

Step 10

Add the fried vegetable balls to the sauce and gently coat them. Cook for 1-2 minutes to allow the flavors to absorb.

Step 11

Garnish with spring onion greens and serve hot. Enjoy as is or pair with fried rice or noodles!
