2. Fry the Tempeh: Cut the tempeh into small cubes and fry them in hot oil until golden and crispy. Once done, set them aside on a paper towel to absorb excess oil.

3. Prepare the Kikil: Cut the kikil into small cubes and soak them briefly in warm water, then drain and set aside.

4. Wash the Bean Sprouts: Rinse the long bean sprouts thoroughly and set them aside for later use.

5. Sauté the Aromatics: In a hot pan, heat some cooking oil and sauté the sliced onion until slightly softened. Then, add the minced shallots and garlic, continuing to sauté until fragrant.

6. Add the Chilis and Spices: Introduce the sliced bird’s eye chili and large red chili, along with ginger, galangal, and bay leaves, stirring until everything is well combined and fragrant.

7. Incorporate the Bean Sprouts: Add the long bean sprouts to the mixture, sautéing them until just wilted, then fold in the kikil and continue to stir-fry for a minute.

8. Combine with Tempeh: Gently add the fried tempeh into the mix, tossing everything together to combine evenly.

9. Add Liquid and Seasonings: Pour in enough mineral water to create a light sauce, then add the sugar, salt, seasoning (if using), and black pepper sauce. Stir well to combine and adjust the taste to your liking.

10. Simmer: Allow the mixture to come to a gentle boil and let it simmer until the liquid reduces and thickens, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.

11. Serve: Once the dish has reached your desired consistency and flavor, remove from heat and serve hot, either on its own or with steamed rice for a complete meal.
