Tender Chicken Bakso for Kids
Ingredients:
- 250 grams chicken breast
- 1 fried garlic clove
- 2 fried shallots
- Ice cubes or cold water, just enough to avoid a too-soft mixture
- Salt, to taste
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- A pinch of chicken stock powder
- Sliced green onions, to taste
- 2 tablespoons tapioca flour
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
Instructions:
-
Prepare the Chicken Mixture: Begin by finely grinding the chicken breast using a blender. Add the fried garlic, fried shallots, and blend until smooth. Incorporate an egg, salt, and a pinch of chicken stock powder, blending until the mixture is well combined.
-
Incorporate Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the tapioca flour and all-purpose flour to the chicken mixture. Blend thoroughly, then slowly add ice cubes or cold water to achieve the right consistency. The mixture should be firm but not too soft.
-
Shape the Meatballs: Once the mixture is well combined, shape it into small meatballs.
-
Cook the Meatballs: Bring a pot of water to a boil. Gently drop the meatballs into the boiling water and cook until they float to the surface, indicating they are done.
-
Serve and Store: Serve the meatballs with your choice of dipping sauce, such as soy sauce or ketchup. Alternatively, you can freeze the cooked meatballs for later use. They are great additions to stir-fries, soups, fried noodles, or fried rice.
