Ingredients for Beef Meatballs:
500 grams of beef (preferably with a slight fat content)
200 grams of tapioca flour
2 cloves of minced garlic
1 teaspoon of salt
1/2 teaspoon of ground pepper
1 tablespoon of beef bouillon powder (optional, for extra flavor)
Sufficient ice cubes
Cold water as needed
Additional Accompaniments for Beef Meatballs: yellow noodles, rice vermicelli, bok choy, fried tofu, boiled eggs, fried shallots, sweet soy sauce, chili sauce.
How to Make Beef Meatballs:
Preparing the Beef:
Thoroughly wash the beef, then cut it into small pieces.
To achieve a tender texture, you can use the "tenderizing" technique by pounding the meat with a meat mallet or a safe heavy object.
Processing the Beef:
Place the chopped beef into a food processor and process until it becomes smooth.
Add minced garlic, salt, ground pepper, beef bouillon powder, and tapioca flour to the food processor. Then, process again until all the ingredients are evenly mixed.
Making the Meatball Dough:
While continuously processing the dough, gradually add ice cubes and cold water. The goal is to keep the dough's temperature cold and create meatballs with a chewy texture.
Process the dough until it appears elastic and does not stick to your hands.
Forming the Beef Meatballs:
Take a portion of the dough, shape it into balls, and roll them in your hands to create small meatballs of your desired size.
Place the meatballs on a tray or baking sheet lightly dusted with tapioca flour to prevent sticking.
