Indonesian Beef Ball Bakso Soup and Noodles Recipe

Bakso is a kind of Indonesian beef balls that are eaten with beef noodles soup. Sometimes wantans are added into this wonderful dish as well. I made some beef balls (bakso) for my beef noodles and used some of them for my spaghetti as well. Huh, talk about killing 2 birds with one stone! LOL!

Ingredients
Minced beef, 500 gms
Corn flour, 5 teaspoons
Pepper, to taste
Garlic, 5 pcs, chopped finely
Salt to taste For soup
Water 8 bowls
Beef bones, 500 gms
Shallots, 5 pcs, sliced thinly and deep fried until crispy
Daun soup (Chinese celery), 3 stalks, chopped
Soya sauce, 2 tablespoons
Salt to taste

Mix all beef ball ingredients together. Make the mixture into bite sizes balls. Put some water in a pot and bring to a boil. Boil the beef balls for a short while or until they are thoroughly cooked. Put aside and use it to garnish the beef noodles. Pour the water for making the soup in a pot. Turn on the heat and put in the beef bones when the water starts to boil. Boil for around 45 minutes to 1 hour. Add soya sauce and salt to taste. Put in the daun soup and shallots. You can eat the soup and meatballs (bakso) with mee (egg noodles) , bihun (rice vermicelli) or kueh teow (flat rice noodles).
