Tempe Menjes Merakyat Recipe
Ingredients:
| Ingredient | Amount |
|---|---|
| Tempe Gembus | 1 block, sliced thinly |
| Rempeyek Flour (Virgo brand) | 100g (or as needed) |
| Cooking Oil | As needed for frying |
| Water | As needed for batter |
| Salt | A pinch |
Instructions:
-
Prepare the Tempe: Begin by slicing the tempe gembus into thin pieces, approximately 10 slices (or adjust based on preference).
-
Make the Wet Batter: In a mixing bowl, combine the rempeyek flour, a pinch of salt, and water. Stir until the mixture reaches a consistency that coats the tempe well. You can adjust the thickness of the batter to your liking, depending on whether you want it lighter or more crispy.
-
Dip the Tempe: Once the batter is ready, dip each slice of tempe into the batter, making sure it’s fully coated.
-
Fry the Tempe: Heat the cooking oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Carefully place the battered tempe slices into the hot oil, frying them until golden brown and crispy.
-
Drain and Serve: Remove the fried tempe from the oil and drain excess oil on paper towels. Serve hot, and enjoy this deliciously crispy treat!
Tips for Success:
- Adjust the batter’s consistency based on your personal preference. A thicker batter will yield crunchier results, while a thinner batter gives a lighter, crispier texture.
- Serve with a side of chili sauce or a simple dipping sauce for an added burst of flavor.
Enjoy this simple and flavorful Indonesian snack, a perfect companion for your gatherings or a savory treat anytime!
