2. Make the Batter:
   In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and the spice mix. Gradually add water while stirring continuously. Aim for a thick, smooth batter that coats the back of a spoon.

3. Add the Chives:
   Gently fold the chopped Chinese chives into the batter, ensuring they are evenly distributed.

4. Coat the Tempeh:
   Dip each thin slice of tempeh into the batter, ensuring it is fully coated.

5. Fry the Tempeh:
   In a frying pan, heat the cooking oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, carefully add the battered tempeh slices. Fry until they turn golden brown and crispy on both sides, about 3-4 minutes per side.

6. Drain and Serve:
   Once cooked, remove the tempeh from the oil and drain on paper towels to absorb excess oil. Serve hot as a delicious snack or side dish.
