Step 1

Using your hands, mix together all the ingredients in a big bowl.

Step 2

Wet both hands with some water and shape into about 50 meatballs. Set aside.

Step 3

Heat up a wok or skillet with some oil, pan-fry the meatballs until they turn light to golden brown. Drain them on a plate lined with paper towels.

Step 4

Mix together the sauce ingredients and keep aside.

Step 5

Mix together the thickener in a separate small bowl.

Step 6

Heat the vegetable oil in a wok or skillet over high heat. Add the onion, and cook for 1 minute.

Step 7

Add the bell pepper and stir fry for 2 minutes.

Step 8

Add the mixed sauce ingredients and stir until the sugar has dissolved and the sauce begins to bubble.

Step 9

Add the thickener. Bring to a simmer, stirring constantly. Then cook until the sauce thickens to a syrup consistency – this will take about 2-3 minutes.

Step 10

Add the meatballs. Stir to coat well with the sauce.
