- 2 cups Chicken stock (or mix in 1/2 Maggi chicken stock cube in warm water)
- Some finely shredded veggies
- 2-3 garlic cloves grated
- 1/2 or 1 tsp Szchewan/Chilli sauce, depending on how spicy you want it.

Preparation:

- Mix all the ingredients for the balls and keep in fridge for 1-2 hours.

- Then heat a paniyaram/appe pan, put a drop of oil in each and drop the chicken mince, cook on both sides, cover for a bit in between. Alternatively you can cook them on a normal pan.

- For the sauce - heat oil, stir fry the garlic (dont let it burn), then add veggies, cornflour, soy sauce and stock. 
- Let it come to one boil, then add vinegar,szchewan/chilli sauce, sweet chilli sauce (if want slightly sweet else skip), ajinomoto as per taste.
  Skip the ajinomoto if using chicken stock cube, as that already has ajinomoto.
- Add the balls in the sauce and garnish with spring onions.

Served here with a simple fried rice and saueteed green beans.
