Homemade sweet and sour chicken balls with lotus root
Overview
I suddenly wanted to eat pineapple sweet and sour chicken balls at home over the weekend, but I had pineapple at home and it was raining outside so it was difficult to go out to buy it. After my wife suggested using lotus root instead of pineapple, I tried to make this sweet and sour chicken ball with lotus root cubes. It tastes good, convenient, affordable and home-cooked~~~
