Fried Meatball ( Bakso Goreng)

This fried meatball (bakso goreng) is usually eaten with Meatball sup (bakso) or Chicken Mushroom Noodles (Mie Ayam Jamur). Yet, Indonesian also eats it as an appetizer or snack. It serves better with Chilli Sauce.
This meal is actually influenced by Chinese cuisine called Wonton, a type of dumpling commonly found in a number of Chinese cuisines. For easier and simple method, you can always use ready use Spring Rolls Sheets.
