Ingredients:
| Ingredients | Quantity |
|---|---|
| Tempeh (fermented soybean cake) | 1 block (about 200g) |

Instructions:
| Step | Description |
|---|---|
| Step 1: Prepare the ingredients | Start by gathering all the ingredients. Cut the tempeh into small, bite-sized pieces. Steam the tempeh for about 10-15 minutes to soften it slightly. This step will also enhance the flavor of the tempeh. |
| Step 2: Make the batter | In a bowl, mix the grated garlic, flour, salt, and black pepper. Crack the egg into the bowl and whisk the mixture. If the batter is too lumpy, let it be; it should still be fine for coating the tempeh. |
| Step 3: Dip and fry | Dip each piece of steamed tempeh into the egg mixture, coating it thoroughly. Heat oil in a pan over medium heat. Fry the tempeh pieces until they are golden and crispy on both sides, about 3-4 minutes per side. |
| Step 4: Serve and enjoy | Once the tempeh is fried to perfection, remove it from the pan and drain any excess oil on paper towels. Serve warm as a snack, or pair it with a dipping sauce or side dishes of your choice. Enjoy your Tempe Goreng Telur! |
