Bakso Sapi is beef balls in English. Minced beef that is shaped like smaller size ping pong balls. Any Asian grocery store in Holland would stock this in the freezer as this is quite popular. This time I try to make this from scratch. It seems to succeed even though it is far from being perfect.
ingredients:
make 30 beef balls
400 gr/14 oz minced beef
1 egg
1 cube chicken stock, crushed
1 tbs garlic powder
3 tbs starch
1 tsp salt
30 ml cold/icy water
2 liter water for steaming and cooking
methods:
1. In a steaming pan, bring about 2 liter of water to the boil. Process all ingredients in a food processor until they becomes smooth and all ingredients are incorporated.
2. Divide into 30 parts and shape them into small ping pong balls and place all beef balls on the steamer. Steam the balls for about 20 minutes.
3. Remove the balls from the steamer and immediately put all balls into the boiling water of the steaming pan. At this stage you do not need the steamer anymore.
4. Cook the beef balls for another 20 minutes.
5. Turn off the heat, with big slotted spoon remove the balls from the pan.
6. The beef balls are ready to use. You can eat them with your noodle soup like this Mie Ayam
