Instructions:
-
Prepare the Tempeh: Begin by cutting the tempeh into bite-sized pieces and steaming it until it becomes tender. This will help soften the tempeh and enhance its flavor.
-
Prep the Vegetables: While the tempeh is steaming, thoroughly wash the carrots and broccoli. Once cleaned, roughly chop the vegetables and then blend them until they reach a coarse consistency. This will ensure that they integrate well into the tempeh mixture.
-
Mix the Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, crumble the steamed tempeh. Add the blended carrot and broccoli to the crumbled tempeh. Next, incorporate the flour, egg, sugar, and salt into the mixture. Use your hands or a spatula to combine everything until you achieve a uniform consistency.
-
Steam Again: Transfer the mixed ingredients back into a steamer. Steam the mixture for an additional 20-30 minutes or until it sets firmly. This second steaming ensures the flavors meld together beautifully.
-
Slice and Coat: Once the mixture has cooled down, cut it into desired shapes. Prepare a dipping batter by mixing a bit of water with additional flour to create a thin paste. Dip each piece into the flour batter, allowing excess to drip off, then coat it with breadcrumbs for a crispy exterior.
-
Fry to Perfection: Heat oil in a frying pan over low to medium heat. Fry the coated tempeh pieces until golden brown and crispy on all sides. Ensure the oil is not too hot to prevent burning.
-
Serve and Enjoy: Once fried, place the tempeh on paper towels to absorb any excess oil. Serve your healthy tempeh sayur warm as a delightful snack or side dish, relishing in the nutritious goodness without any MSG.
