Prepare the Meat Mixture: Begin by placing the fried shallots and garlic cloves into a food processor. Add the beef and chicken breast. Process the mixture until the meat is finely ground and well combined.

Mix Ingredients: Once the meat is finely ground, transfer it to a mixing bowl. Add the egg, salt, baking soda, and tapioca flour. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are fully incorporated and the mixture has a smooth consistency.

Shape the Meatballs: To form the meatballs, take a portion of the mixture and shape it according to your preference. For perfectly round meatballs, place the mixture in the palm of your hand. Gently squeeze it between your thumb and forefinger to mold the mixture into a ball.
