   • Cut the chicken breast into smaller pieces and grind it using a blender until finely minced. This creates the base for your meatballs.

2. Process the Garlic:

   • Peel and finely crush or grind the garlic cloves until they form a smooth paste.

3. Combine Ingredients:

   • In a large bowl, mix the ground chicken with the garlic paste, Ladaku seasoning, Royco chicken seasoning, and salt. Stir in the tapioca flour, all-purpose flour, and egg. Ensure all ingredients are thoroughly combined to form a smooth, cohesive mixture.

4. Form the Meatballs:

   • Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Using your hands, shape the chicken mixture into small balls, about 1 to 1.5 inches in diameter. Carefully drop the meatballs into the boiling water.

5. Cook the Meatballs:

   • Let the meatballs cook in the boiling water for a few minutes until they float to the surface. This step helps to set their shape and texture.

6. Steam for Flavor:

   • Once the meatballs have been boiled, transfer them to a steamer basket and steam for an additional 10-15 minutes. This steaming step helps to lock in the flavor and ensures the meatballs remain moist and tender.

7. Serve and Enjoy:

   • Your Bakso Ayam is now ready to be served! Enjoy these delicious chicken meatballs on their own, or add them to soups, salads, or as part of a larger meal.

Tips:

• Ensure the chicken mixture is well-seasoned before cooking for the best flavor.
• For a smoother texture, you can blend the chicken mixture a second time.
