1. Cut the Tempe into Several Pieces

First, take a block of tempe and cut it into several pieces as desired.

If you want to experience the enjoyment of the spices to the fullest, don't hesitate to make thicker slices.

This way, every tempting bite of tempe will indulge your taste buds and provide unparalleled satisfaction!

2. Make Small Lines on the Tempe

After that, take a knife and make fine scratches on the surface of the tempe, as if creating a work of art.

These small scratches are not just decorations, but a clever trick to allow the spices to permeate perfectly into the tempe while frying, making it more delicious and appetizing!

3. Soak the Tempe in Spices

Next, prepare a tempting spice mixture by crushing 2 cloves of garlic, then adding coriander, turmeric powder, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 1 teaspoon of flavor enhancer.

Mix all these ingredients in a bowl, pour in enough water, and stir until well combined.

Once the spices are ready, add the tempe pieces one by one into the bowl, allowing each piece to be coated with the rich-flavored spices, ready to be processed into a delicious dish!

4. Fried Tempe

Heat enough cooking oil in a pan, then carefully add the pieces of tempeh.

Let the tempeh soak in the hot oil until it turns a tempting golden yellow.

Remember, don't be lazy to turn the tempeh so that each side gets the perfect golden color and cooks evenly!

5. Pour Seasoning into the Frying Pan

When the tempeh is half-cooked, it's time to pour the prepared seasoning into the frying pan, so the flavors can fully absorb into the tempeh.

Stir the tempeh enthusiastically during the frying process until its color changes to a tempting golden hue.

Once it feels cooked, turn off the stove, lift it out, and drain the tempeh.

Now, crispy fried tempeh with rich seasoning is ready to tantalize your taste buds, perfectly paired with spicy sambal that bites!
