|---|---|
| 1 | Prepare the Tempeh: Start by cutting the tempeh into strips or squares, then carefully hollow out the center to make room for the sambal filling. Set aside. |
| 2 | Make the Sambal: In a mortar or blender, combine shallots, garlic, and chili. Grind or blend the ingredients until smooth. Add the Royco seasoning powder and salt, then mix well. |
| 3 | Stuff the Tempeh: Carefully stuff the sambal mixture into the hollowed-out part of each tempeh piece. Ensure the sambal is packed well. |
| 4 | Prepare the Coating: In a mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour (or tapioca flour), chopped green onions, and a bit of crushed garlic. Add Royco seasoning powder and salt. Slowly add water to the mixture while stirring to form a smooth batter. |
| 5 | Fry the Tempeh: Heat oil in a pan over medium heat. Dip each piece of sambal-stuffed tempeh into the batter, then fry in hot oil until golden and crispy. Ensure the tempeh is fully cooked and crispy on all sides. |
| 6 | Serve: Once fried, drain excess oil from the tempeh and serve hot. Enjoy this crispy, flavorful snack with your family! 😍👍 |
