Chinese Vegetable Manchurian

This is the first recipe that I had made and it turned out to be a crowd pleaser. I couldn't have asked for more. This recipe has the goodness of the vegetables and the flavor of Chinese sauces. It had to be the first recipe that I share with my readers. This recipe is worth trying.

 Let’s make it.

Ingredients

2 cups of finely chopped vegetables (I used cabbage, spring onion, carrot, capsicum and peas)

4 tbsp corn flour

2 tsp black pepper powder

3 tbsp chopped greens of the spring onions

4 cloves of garlic

Salt to taste

1 cup soya chunks (boiled and ground to coarse texture)

2 tbsp vinegar

1 ½ tsp soya sauce (dark)

¼ cup chilli sauce

½ cup tomato sauce

2 tsp sugar

Oil for frying + 1 tbsp extra

Method

• Heat 1 tbsp oil in a pan and add garlic to it. Add the chopped vegetables and soya to it and cook until no moisture is left.
•  Add corn flour to the mixture and cook until they clump together. Turn off the gas and let the mixture cool.
• Make small balls out of the mixture and deep fry it until slightly brown.
• In another pan heat 1 tbsp oil and add chopped garlic and sugar to it. Once the sugar starts melting add chopped greens of the spring onion.
• Add all the sauces and stir for few seconds. Add a cup of water and cover the pan. Let it simmer for 3 minutes.
• In a serving bowl place the fried Manchurian balls and pour the sauce over it. The dish is complete.
• Serve it either with fried rice or chowmein.
