How to make traditional indonesian meatballs (penthol)

For some people, the best minced beef for penthol contains 30-40% of fat but I don't :) I like to use round/knuckle cut and processed it in food processor.

Add in 1 Tbsp of coconut oil. You can use any oil though :) but I just prefer coconut oil

Finely mashed 3 clove of garlics or you can use garlic powder if you prefer ones. Add in to the food processor

Add in 1 tsp of salt

Add in 1/2 tsp of white pepper

Add in 1 egg-white

Add in 1 tsp of baking powder

Add in 1/4 tsp of baking soda for fluffy penthol

Add in 3 Tbsp of tapioca flour for structure

Boil some water in medium sauce pan and cook the penthols until it is floating. The cooking time for each penthols is approx 7-8mnts.

When they are done, set aside.

The yummy ball looks from inside :)

To prepare the penthol soup is simply boil some rib bones or chicken bones/feet.

This is how I enjoy my homemade penthols :) spinach noodles, green cabbage, sambal ... hmm would you like some? :) Hope you enjoy it as much as I do. Photo courtessy of my colleague; Sue Setiawan
