I take my last comment back, as you did post the tip of a small onion… ;-)

Possibly use Oyster sauce as a substitute for Ketjap. but Sweet chilli and beef are best mates so you cant really go wrong.

Just made this dish tonite. It was fantastic ,absolutely delicious. I had bought gr.beef on sale and asked my Dutch hubby what could I make him out of the beef. He said,’Dutch meatball, boiledpotatoes and red cabbage”. His mother always used prepackaged meatball spices. So I googled Dutch meatball and saw the only spice is nutmeg! Anyway, I made your recipe, I had ketjap manis, and it’s a keeper. I’m book marking your blog for when we might want to make other traditional favorites. Thank you for sharing and BTW, you have a nice sense of humor.

That will not only work very well, but they will probably taste even better the day after.

Must admit I’m completely unfamiliar with the flavor of bison/buffalo meat!

I am in charge of providing 3 pounds of meatballs for a 70th birthday party for my father-in-law. Do you think I could make these the day before just like your recipe states and then put them all in a crock-pot/ slow cooker to keep warm and serve at the party? I was also considering making them with Bison/buffalo meat which I have done before and they do make great meatballs. It’s expensive and 90% lean. But I get to call them Buffalo Balls!

Ketjep manis is available at our local Dutch stores. Maybe we are lucky. I will use it in your recipe. My hope is that it does taste like my Oma’s recipe!

Not sure using chicken broth will do much for it… never tried it myself. Pretty much any type of potato dish will work with this one!

Hi, I'm going to follow this recipe, the last one I followed came out bland and flavorless. One of my friends from Holland looked at my recipes and he said the one I used was made for grannies that needs to eat healthy food. About your gravy, is it okay if I replace beef broth with chicken broth? And what would you suggest goes good with the meatballs besides curly endive mash. This is when I start getting lazy. _P
