Two weeks ago I bought this from an asian supermarket along with a canned braised seitan. I seldom come across veggie meat that I like so rarely buy them. I usually stick to good, old, dependable tofu.
I was excited to try the seitan first because I made it myself once about year ago and I loved it. Yuck, was I disappointed with this canned stuff. I even marinated it in soy sauce and calamansi and cooked it a la Pinoy beefsteak with crunchy red onion rings. Sigh. This made me hesitant to try the chicken balls.
Middle of last week, I was craving for a sweet & sour something and quickly remembered about my, erm, balls! I have little idea of what's in the sauce so I asked the help of Big Sis to ask her friend for the ingredients. The friend, a.k.a. Big Bird who is supposed to be a good cook but is a kind of a wise-ass, emailed a recipe so vague one wonders if he's a lazy emailer or just plain selfish. Of course I could just have googled the recipe myself. In the end, I copied a simple one from a borrowed "Everything Chinese Cookbook". It turned out kinda okay even if I wasn't liking the taste of the veggie balls too much.
