Bakso means "meatball". Generally speaking, Bakso is made of ground beef and cassava starch, but it also uses ground chicken, fish or shrimp as ingredients. Merchants usually indicate the type of meatballs, such as Bakso Sapi (beef balls), Bakso Ayam (chicken balls) or Bakso Ikan (fish balls).
A bowl of Bakso can be pure meatballs and soup (Sup Bakso), or can be added with bihun Bakso (meatball rice noodle soup) and Mie Bakso (meatball rice noodle soup). In addition, Bakso can also be cut into pieces and used as an ingredient for other dishes, such as Cap Cay, or added to fried rice.

When making, the merchants first boil the noodles and Bakso, then add bean sprouts or green leafy vegetables, pour the soup, and finally sprinkle the fried garlic and dry celery. The steaming Bakso can be served. Of course, eggs, baked goods, fried flat food or chicken shreds can also be added to the luxury Bakso portfolio.
Solo and Malang are the rich centers of Bakso, but Bakso can be seen almost everywhere in Indonesia, which is the most common common snack in Indonesia. In addition to opening stores and stalls, there are also peddlers who use spoons to knock out porcelain bowls and peddle in the streets and alleys. Hearing the clear "Dangdang" sound, people knew that Bakso was at the door. Everyone in Indonesia, please go and taste this delicious food.
