Meatballs have a long history. Starting from the expression of a child's love and devotion to his mother during the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644) in China, a type of oriental culinary was created which later penetrated the archipelago and became very popular in Indonesia.
Once upon a time, told and quoted from Theepochtimes, at the end of the Ming Dynasty in the 17th century AD, there lived a child named Meng Bo who lived with his mother in Fuzho, China. Meng Bo really wanted to cook meat that her mother liked. However, due to his old age, his mother's teeth were no longer able to chew meat.
Meng Bo then thought about how to cook soft meat so that his mother could eat it. He suddenly remembered a soft snack like mochi made from sticky rice and ground until smooth.
From there Meng Bo got into action. He pounded the tough meat, then formed small rounds to make it easier to enjoy and eat with warm broth. Apparently, Meng Bo's cooking is very delicious.
Meng Bo's story and recipe for meatball soon spread throughout the city. People came out of curiosity and wanted to learn the recipe for the famously delicious ground beef in soup.
Meatballs, aka ground beef, have become one of the favorite foods of the Chinese people and have continued to grow from generation to generation. Until finally, this type of culinary delights reached the archipelago, brought by immigrants from their home country, China.
Well, even though it doesn't come from Indonesia, meatball is now known as one of the best-selling culinary delights in Indonesia.
