Talking about Tempeh ( in Bahasa Indonesia/ Javanese called témpé ) , It's very popular and cheap food in Indonesia. But don't get it wrong, it's not cheapen food due to it has very high protein, dietary fiber and vitamins. Tempeh is a traditional food which originated from Indonesia particularly in Java Island. It made from fermented soybean and If you are vegetarian, is highly recommended because it consider as meat analogue. Well, since I am very beginner in culinary world , I'd like to share the simplest menu for today, it's called Tempe goreng ( Fried Tempe ).
Ingredients :
- 6 blocks / 1 package Tempeh( if it's wrapped by plastic. Here I am using Tempeh which is wrapped by banana leaves and its size is little bit thin )
- 3 cloves garlic
- 1tsp coriander
-1 1/2 tsp salt
-water
-oil for frying
Direction:
Scratch Tempeh with knife so that the spicy immerse quickly
Crush garlic, coriander and salt until smooth,here I am using traditional clay grinder ( Cobek in Indonesia ) or you can use blender.Give little bit water, then dowse Tempeh in it.
Heat oil and deep fry Tempeh until its colour turn golden brown
Well done !. It's very easy, isn't it ?. We usually eat Tempe Goreng along with rice and another menu for our main course. But you can eat it as snack with fresh chilly. whuuuuu.... I'm going to miss this food since I will live abroad where Tempeh is hard to find...
