Ingredients:
- 1/2 kg (500 grams) boneless chicken breast
- 200 ml ice-cold water
- 3 cloves garlic
- 6 black peppercorns
- A small piece of nutmeg (approximately the size of 2 peppercorns)
- 1.5 teaspoons fine salt
- 1/2 teaspoon sugar
- 1 egg white
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 5 to 6 tablespoons tapioca flour (or starch)

Prepare the Chicken: Begin by finely chopping the chicken breast. Blend it together with the crushed ice-cold water until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
-
Spice Blend: Grind the garlic, black peppercorns, and nutmeg into a fine powder. Mix this spice blend into the ground chicken along with the egg white, fine salt, baking powder, and sugar. Blend briefly to ensure everything is evenly incorporated.

Add Tapioca Flour: Gradually add the tapioca flour to the mixture, stirring well to combine. Taste the mixture to adjust the seasoning as needed. (For best results, taste a small amount on the tip of your tongue and rinse with water.)

Shape the Meatballs: Shape the mixture into meatballs by pressing it between your thumb and index finger. Use a spoon to scoop the shaped meatballs and gently drop them into a pot of boiling water.
-
Cook and Cool: Once the meatballs are cooked through, remove them from the pot and place them in a bowl of cold water to cool.
