Chinese Takeaway-Style Chicken Balls With Vegetable Fried Rice
Put down the takeaway menu and crank up the heat for this home-style Chinese. You'll coat chicken breast strips in a soy sauce batter before frying till crispy. Serve with colourful vegetable fried rice and sweet 'n' sour sauce for dipping.
You supply: flour, sugar, vegetable oil, water. The figures below are for the dish cooked as instructed, so they count these rather than what arrives in the box.

Tell me when Chinese Takeaway-Style Chicken Balls With Vegetable Fried Rice changes
Recipes get reformulated and portions shrink without an announcement. We read this page every week anyway.
Every figure above is read from what the brand publishes, and brands change their pages without telling us. If something here does not match this meal as it is sold today, we would rather hear it than print it.
