Sambel Tempe (Tempe with Spicy Sambel)
Ingredients:
| Ingredient | Quantity |
|---|---|
| Tempe (fermented soybean cake) | 1 block (approximately 250g) |
| Garlic | 2 cloves |
| Shallots | 3 shallots |
| Orange chili peppers | 20 small chilies |
| Sugar | To taste |
| Salt | To taste |
| Powdered broth (optional) | To taste |
Instructions:
- Begin by finely chopping the garlic, shallots, and orange chili peppers.
- Cut the tempe into small pieces, but don’t grind it completely. It should break apart but still have texture.
- Heat a pan and add the garlic, shallots, and chili mixture. Stir-fry until aromatic and slightly golden.
- Add the tempe pieces to the pan and stir well to ensure the tempe absorbs the flavors without becoming too mushy.
- Season with salt, sugar, and powdered broth to taste. Stir-fry until the tempe is slightly crispy and golden, which enhances the dish’s texture.
- Taste the sambel tempe, adjusting seasoning if necessary.
- Serve the Sambel Tempe hot as a delicious side dish or snack.
