A TikTok creator has shared a genius way to eat chicken balls from her local Chinese takeaway – but the final product features no chicken at all.
Nadine Campbell (@Nadz_xxxx) had foodies drooling after she revealed the hack, which involves removing the chicken from the batter and replacing it with rice and curry sauce. A video sharing the recipe had already been viewed two million times at the time of writing and saw her explain the technique after biting open the crispy ball.
"I pull out the chicken and then I take fried rice and curry and mix it together," she said. "I then stuff it inside the chicken ball – I've eaten them like this since I was young – and I will never eat them [any] other way.
"I get chips and stick them inside and that's how I eat my chicken balls. It's delicious."
Nadine warned viewers the technique "works better" with thicker batter. She captioned the clip: "Anyone else eat them like this or just me?"

And it appeared several others do. One takeaway fan responded: "Omg I thought I was the only one that did that!"
Another wrote: "In my 24 years of living, I’ve never ever seen anyone else do this! I’m so happy!" Meanwhile a third added: "That's how I eat mine! without the chips though."

"I feel like the last 42 years I was merely existing and now I am living with this recommendation," said one inspired TikTok user.
A second wrote: "I’m going to have to try this next time I have a Chinese, it looks amazing." A third agreed: "What in the magical world of Harry Potter have I just witnessed?" And a fourth gushed: "Why have I not been doing this? Thanks darling!"
This isn't the first time Nadine has shared a food hack to social media, with Chinese takeaway often her cuisine of choice. Her "plate-ups" often cause controversy with her most recent combination of noodles, rice, and a variety of curries proving to be divisive.
She's not the only one who loves a takeout – we Brits love putting our own stamp on some of the world's most treasured cuisines, often receiving mixed reactions for our takes on culinary classics. Earlier this month, Ruiz Asri, who runs the popular food blog and media site Honest Food Talks, told the Mirror: "The history of a Chinese takeaway in the UK can be traced back to the late 19th and early 20th centuries when Chinese immigrants began arriving in the country.
"The majority of the early Chinese immigrants were seamen from southern China, primarily from the Guangdong province. Many of them were drawn to the port cities of Liverpool and London, where they opened small, family-run eateries known as 'chop suey houses' to provide other immigrants with a taste of home and create a sense of community in their new home."
