Bakso

Ingredients:
250 gr Beef Mince
1 egg
1 tsp garlic powder/garlic paste
1/2 tsp black pepper
1 tbs salt
2 tbs tapioca starch
1 tbs corn starch
1 tsp baking powder (to make the meatball bouncy)
1 tsp baking soda (to make the meatball grow bigger)
a pinch of sugar (sugar will increase the taste)

Method:
Put all the ingredients in a mixing bowl.

Mix all the mixture until well mixed. Wrap the bowl with a plastic wrap. Refrigerate overnight. The most important is to make sure that the mixture is completely cold.

When the mixture is completely cold, prepare a pot. Add water, then bring to boil. After it comes to a boil, turn off the heat. Take out the mixture from the fridge. Shape it like a small ball. Directly put the ball mix into the hot water.

After all the mixture has been shaped as a ball in the hot water, turn on the stove again in medium heat, then bring to a boil. Leave to cook for about 5 minutes after it comes to a boil.

Lift the Bakso ball. Then use the water as the beef stock for the soup. Just simply add fried garlic and fried onion to the beef stock. Add a bit more of salt and sugar. When the taste is okay, put back the meatball into the beef stock.

Prepare your ball with any fillings you like (egg) or also without any filling.

Happy eating bakso!
