Title: Stir-Fried Water Spinach with Tempe (Cah Kangkung Tempe)

Ingredients:

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Ingredients: Begin by preparing the tempe. Cut the tempe into small pieces and fry them in oil until golden and crispy. Set aside to drain on paper towels.

2. Saute the Aromatics: In a large pan or wok, heat a little oil over medium heat. Add the sliced shallots and garlic, sautéing them until they become fragrant and golden.

3. Add the Chilies and Water Spinach: Toss in the red chili (or curly red chili for a milder kick) and the fresh water spinach (kangkung). Stir-fry the mixture for a few minutes to mix the flavors.

4. Add the Seasonings: Pour in a bit of water, and then add the oyster sauce, sugar, and bouillon powder to taste. Stir everything together, allowing the kangkung to soften and cook.

5. Finish the Dish: Once the water spinach begins to wilt, add the fried tempe, green onions, and chopped tomato. Stir everything well until the kangkung is fully cooked and tender.

6. Serve and Enjoy: Remove from heat and serve the stir-fried water spinach with tempe hot, garnished with fresh herbs or a sprinkle of fried shallots, if desired. This dish pairs beautifully with steamed rice or as part of a larger meal.
