2. Add the Spices and Chilies: Once the garlic is aromatic, incorporate the ground spices—salt, sugar, black pepper, ground coriander, and the ground candlenuts—into the pan. Stir well to combine, then add the sliced green chilies. Continue to sauté until the chilies soften slightly, enhancing their flavor.

3. Incorporate the Tempeh: Gently add the cut tempeh into the pan. Stir thoroughly to ensure that the tempeh is evenly coated with the spice mixture. Cook until the tempeh turns golden brown and slightly crispy, allowing it to absorb the flavors.

4. Add the Tofu: Next, introduce the pieces of tofu to the mix. Carefully stir to combine, ensuring that the tofu does not break apart, and allow the tofu to soak in the flavors.

5. Sweeten the Dish: Pour in the sweet soy sauce to taste. Stir everything together until the sauce evenly coats the tempeh and tofu, creating a luscious glaze.

6. Taste and Adjust: Before serving, take a moment to taste the dish. If you desire more seasoning, feel free to adjust with additional salt, sugar, or soy sauce according to your preference.

7. Serve: Once the flavors meld beautifully, your Tempe Tahu Kecap Cabe Ijo is ready to be served! Enjoy it warm, either as a main dish or a delicious side.
