These fried balls are served with a separate dish of vegetable sweet and sour. Accompaniments are usually boiled rice or chips (these are not included in the calorie count).

A tasty dish but unfortunately a high calorie chinese main course. This is down to the prawn balls being battered and fried which accounts for the fat content and carb count of this dish.
