Forming the Meatballs: Bring a large pot of water to a boil. With wet hands, shape the mixture into small balls. Drop each ball directly into the boiling water. Continue shaping and adding the meatballs to the boiling water.
-
Cooking: Let the meatballs cook in the boiling water until they float to the surface. This indicates that they are fully cooked. Allow them to boil for a few more minutes to ensure they are cooked through.
-
Finishing: Once the meatballs are cooked, remove them from the water with a slotted spoon and transfer them to a colander to drain and cool.
Tips:
- For extra flavor, you can add finely chopped vegetables or herbs into the mixture.
- Adjust the amount of salt and spices according to your taste preference.
- Serve these bakso ayam with a flavorful broth, noodles, or as a complement to various Indonesian dishes.
