Kering Tempe Without Peanuts

Ingredients

Ingredient Quantity
Tempe (cut into small pieces) 4 boards (approximately 500g)
Red chilies (sliced diagonally) 4 pieces
Bay leaves 2 leaves
Palm sugar 2 tablespoons (or to taste)
Sweet soy sauce 3 tablespoons
Coconut milk 1/2 cup
Ground Spices:
Garlic 3 cloves
Shallots 5 cloves
Candlenuts 2 nuts
Young galangal 1 finger-sized piece
Ginger 1 finger-sized piece
Salt To taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Ground Spices: In a skillet, lightly fry the shallots, garlic, and candlenuts until they are half-cooked. Then, blend them together with the young galangal and ginger until smooth.

  2. Sauté the Spices: In the same skillet, heat a bit of oil and sauté the blended spices with the fried red chilies, bay leaves, palm sugar, sweet soy sauce, coconut milk, and salt. Stir until the mixture begins to boil.

  3. Combine with Tempe: Once boiling, add the prepared tempe pieces. Stir well to coat the tempe with the sauce and allow it to cook until the coconut milk reduces and the tempe becomes dry.

  4. Serve: Once the tempe is fully coated and the sauce has thickened, remove from heat and serve warm. Enjoy your flavorful Kering Tempe!

This dish pairs wonderfully with steamed rice for a complete meal that celebrates the rich flavors of Indonesian cuisine!
