Originating from Chinese-Indonesian culinary traditions, Bakso has become a beloved comfort food enjoyed throughout the country. The homemade meatballs are made with finely ground beef, tapioca starch, garlic, and seasonings, creating their signature chewy texture. Served with egg noodles, bok choy, fried shallots, scallions, and spicy sambal, Bakso is a hearty, satisfying meal perfect for lunch or dinner.
