Bakso
Springy beef meatballs in a clear, fragrant broth with noodles.
About Bakso
Bouncy hand-rolled beef meatballs float in a light garlic-and-beef broth alongside rice vermicelli, fried shallots and a tangle of greens, all brightened at the table with chilli sauce and sweet soy. It is the cart-food soup Indonesians grow up on and crave well into adulthood.
