The Making of Chemical-Free Chicken Balls

Those yummy-licious chicken balls which are sold in supermarkets and in the wet markets are packed with all sorts of chemicals. Full of flavorings, preservatives and MSG which will definitely trigger an anaphylaxis attack for me. So it's home made chicken balls for me! Below is the recipe:

Ingredients:

1. Minced chicken breasts (500g)

2. All purpose flour (50g)

3. Sunflower oil (2 tablespoons)

4. Bread crumbs

5. 1/2 teaspoon of salt

6. 1/2 teaspoon of brown sugar

7. Pepper

8. Finely chopped garlic and shallots*

9. Finely grated carrots/finely chopped cabbage/finely chopped chives*

*Optional

----------------------------------------------

1. Add ingredients number 1 to 7 into a large bowl and mix all of them thoroughly.

2. If you want the chicken balls to have different tastes, you can mix them with either carrots (which is MODERATE in salicylates, that is IF you can tolerate them) or cabbage (which is NEGLIGIBLE in salicylates). You can also use finely chopped garlic and shallots. It will give the chicken balls a distinct taste/flavour.

3. You can either fry or steam the chicken balls.
