I like carrots and onions in a fine mince. Usually it&#39;s sweet and sour sauce, but sweet chili sauce is a marvelous choice :)Manggyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05977929776424593762noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1392898498834109106.post-29232160737991673112009-10-06T17:24:41.618-07:002009-10-06T17:24:41.618-07:00the crunch would really make them amazing.

The word Bola means balls in Malay too although there is nothing I know that is like this in Malay cuisine.

I kept wondering how you got them all crispy-looking and then got to the point where you fried them. I wouldn&#39;t have thought of that. Have you tried grilling or pan-frying them? Is it a textural difference?Wandering Chopstickshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04703018765718062460noreply@blogger.com
