If using frozen fish balls, thaw them completely. Pat the fish balls dry with paper towels.
Heat the vegetable oil in a wok or deep pot over medium-high heat until it reaches about 170-180°C (340-350°F).
Carefully add the fish balls into the hot oil. Do not overcrowd the pot; fry in batches if necessary.
Deep fry the fish balls for about 3-5 minutes, or until they turn golden brown and are puffed up, stirring occasionally to ensure even cooking.
Remove the fried fish balls from the oil using a slotted spoon and transfer them to a wire rack lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
Serve the hot fried fish balls immediately with sweet sauce and chilli sauce on the side.
