About Ba kut teh meat balls

Ba Kut Teh Meat Balls are a flavorful dish originating from Chinese-Malaysian cuisine, inspired by the herbal soup known as bak kut teh. Made from minced pork or beef, mixed with garlic, soy sauce, and fragrant spices, the meatballs are shaped and often cooked in the herbal soup or steamed separately. The broth typically contains star anise, cinnamon, cloves, and dong quai, lending the dish its rich, aromatic profile. Nutritionally, the meatballs offer a good source of protein, essential for building and repairing body tissues. However, sodium levels can be high due to the use of soy sauce and preserved broth ingredients. Depending on preparation, fat content may vary, especially if fattier cuts of meat are used. Complemented by nutrient-dense herbal components of the soup, Ba Kut Teh Meat Balls are both a comforting dish and a reflection of Southeast Asian culinary heritage.
