Mie Bakso / Meatball Noodle Soup


Bakso Soep is een van de populaire 'Street Food' in Indonesië. Het is een soep met gehaktballetjes of vleespasta - de textuur is vergelijkbaar met de Chinese gehaktbal of visbal. Deze balletjes zijn kant en klaar te koop bij de toko maar ik heb ze zelf gemaakt (met meer gehakt dan bloem 😊). 
Lekker in alle seizoenen!

Bakso Soup is one of the popular Street Food in Indonesia. It is a soup with meatballs or meatpaste - the texture is similar to the Chinese meatball or fishball. You can get the frozen meatballs at the toko but I've made them myself (more meat than flour 😊)
Delicious in all seasons!

Ingredients for the meatballs: (To be prepared first)
400g minced meat
1/2 red onion, 2 cloves of garlic - finely chopped
1/2 an egg (yeah...you got to break one to get half...hahaha)
2 tsp corn flour or tapioca flour
1 tsp white pepper
salt
(I used the dry blender for the onion and garlic)

Method:
Just mix everything and shape them into balls.

Ingredients for the soup:
1/2 red onion, 3 cloves of garlic - finely chopped
1/2 cm of ginger - sliced
2tsp white pepper
1 lemongrass
1 beef cube

Method:
1) Heat up some oil in a pot. Fry the red onion, garlic, ginger and lemongrass till fragrant.
2) Add some water about 4 cups and let it boil.
3) Add the beef cube (and Sup Bunjut) and salt and pepper to taste.
4) When the water is boiled, add the beefballs till they are cooked.

** If you want to add mee hoon, please follow the instructions on the package. Usually, you'd have to soak it first. Heat up some of the soup in a different pot and add the mee hoon, bean sprouts (and cabbage) till the mee hoon is soft. Garnish it with spring onions and fried shallots.
You may also add some sambal kicap at the side.

Simple and Delicious! Even the kids love it! :)
