• 250 grams beef (minced)
• 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons tapioca flour
• 1 large potato
• For the seasoning:
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • 4 shallots
  • 2 stalks lemongrass
  • 3 cm galangal
  • 1/2 tomato
  • 100 ml coconut milk
  • Salt, to taste
  • Pepper, to taste
  • Sweet soy sauce, to taste
  • Sugar, to taste

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Beef Mixture:

   • Use a blender or food processor to finely grind the beef. Transfer the ground beef to a bowl.
   • Add the all-purpose flour and tapioca flour to the beef. Mix well, adding a little water if needed to achieve a dough-like consistency. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Stir until well combined.

2. Cook the Meatballs:

   • Bring a pot of water to a boil. Using a spoon, scoop out small portions of the beef mixture and drop them into the boiling water. Cook until the meatballs float to the surface. Remove the meatballs with a slotted spoon and drain them.

3. Prepare the Potato:

   • Peel and dice the potato into small cubes. Fry the potato cubes briefly until golden brown, then set aside.

4. Make the Sauce:

   • Blend the shallots and garlic into a smooth paste. Heat a little oil in a pan and sauté the paste until fragrant.
   • Add the bay leaves, lemongrass, and galangal, which have been lightly smashed. Pour in some water and bring to a simmer.
   • Add the cooked meatballs and fried potato cubes to the pan. Allow it to cook until the flavors meld together.
   • Add the sweet soy sauce, chopped tomato, sugar, salt, and pepper to taste. Adjust the seasoning according to your preference.
   • Stir in the coconut milk and continue cooking until the sauce slightly thickens.

5. Serve:
