Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, egg, almond flour, garlic powder, 1 teaspoon of salt, and black pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
Shape the mixture into small meatballs, about 1 inch in diameter, and set aside.
In a large pot, bring the beef broth to a simmer over medium-high heat. Add the chopped onion, minced garlic, sliced ginger, and the remaining 0.5 teaspoon of salt.
Let the broth simmer for about 5 minutes to develop the flavors, then gently add the meatballs into the broth one by one.
Allow the meatballs to cook for about 15 minutes, or until they float to the surface and are completely cooked through.
Add the fish sauce, julienned carrot, and spiralized zucchini to the pot. Cook for an additional 5 minutes until the vegetables are tender.
Taste the broth and adjust seasoning as necessary.
Serve the Bakso Kuah hot, garnished with chopped cilantro and lime wedges on the side for squeezing over.
