Canned sardines made into balls and then fried to perfection and served with a sweet and sour dipping sauce.

⏱ Prep: 5 min ⏱ Cook: 10 min

Ingredients

  • 2 can sardines in tomato sauce
  • 1 cup pechay (chopped)
  • 2 tsp Knorr Liquid Seasoning
  • 2 tbsp green onion (chopped)
  • 0.75 cup breadcrumbs
  • 2.5 tsp sugar
  • 5 tsp white vinegar
  • 2 piece eggs
  • 1.5 tsp cornstarch
  • 2 cup cooking oil
  • 3 tbsp water

Instructions

  1. Open the can of the sardines. Separate the fish from the sauce using a kitchen sieve.

  2. Prepare the sweet and sour sauce by heating the sauce in a saucepan. Add vinegar. Let the mixture boil. Stir and then add sugar. Thicken the sauce by mixing cornstarch and 3 tablespoons water. Pour the mixture into the pot. Stir and cook until the sauce thickens. Set aside.

  3. Start making the sardine balls by placing the fish (sardines) in a bowl. Mash it and then add the chopped pechay and crack a piece of egg into the bowl. Mix well.

  4. Add Knorr liquid seasoning and around 3 tablespoons of breadcrumbs. Continue mixing until all ingredients are well blended. Note: add more breadcrumbs if needed.

  5. Crack the remaining egg and place it in a clean bowl. Beat until smooth. Scoop around 2 tablespoons of sardine mixture and mold it into a sphere. Dip in beaten egg and then roll it over the remaining breadcrumbs.

  6. Heat oil in a small cooking pot. Deep-fry the sardine balls using low to medium heat until it turns golden brown.

  7. Remove from the pot and arrange in a serving plate. Serve with sweet and sour sauce. Share and enjoy!
