About Bakso

Bakso is an Indonesian meatball dish, widely popular for its comforting flavor and versatility. Made primarily from finely ground beef or chicken combined with tapioca flour, bakso is crafted into smooth, dense balls that are boiled and typically served in a savory broth. The dish often includes noodles, tofu, vegetables, and sometimes boiled eggs, offering a balanced meal rich in proteins and carbohydrates. Originating from Indonesian street food culture, bakso is celebrated for its hearty and satisfying nature. On the healthier side, bakso provides a good source of protein from the meat and nutrients from any added vegetables. However, some versions may be high in sodium, especially if served with a commercial broth or additional condiments like sweet soy sauce and fried shallots. For a more nutritious option, homemade bakso with reduced salt and plenty of vegetables is recommended.
