I enjoyed cooking the meatballs that I couldn’t stop myself from finding new ways in preparing it. So far, I’ve done it as is – baked meatballs dipped in sweet chill sauce. I’ve also prepared meatball sotanghon soup. Now, I tried my hand on sweet and sour meatballs!
After I’ve tasted the finished product, I think this is going to be my favourite meatball preparation. Have you tried sweet and sour meatballs? If not, I highly suggest you do!
Thankfully, Panlasang Pinoy’s recipe was spot on! I was so proud of myself for being able to recreate the sweet and sour sauce from scratch, hehe 🙂
The sweet and sour meatballs is perfect to eat with steamed rice. I’m happy to say this is one of my successful creations. Believe it or not, I have more failures in the kitchen than successful ones. haha!
