Ingredients

  • 1 kg beef (diced)
  • 250 g tapioca flour
  • 2 eggs
  • 50 g fried shallots
  • 4 tablespoons crispy fried shallots (thinly fried)
  • 3 tablespoons fried shallots (coarsely ground)
  • 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground white pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
  • Salt to taste

Instructions

  1. Begin by taking all the ingredients to a meat grinder or food processor. Combine the beef, tapioca flour, eggs, fried shallots, crispy fried shallots, and ground shallots. Blend until the mixture is smooth and well combined.

  2. Shape the mixture into small balls using a spoon, ensuring they are uniform in size for even cooking.

  3. Bring a pot of water to a boil, adding some beef bones to enrich the broth. Carefully drop the meatballs into the boiling water.

  4. Cook the meatballs until they float to the surface, indicating they are fully cooked. This should take around 10-15 minutes.

  5. Serve the meatballs hot with your choice of accompaniments, such as noodles, broth, or vegetables. Alternatively, allow them to cool and store them in the freezer for future use.
