Instructions
-
Prepare the Tempeh:
- Start by steaming the tempeh for about 10 minutes until it is half-cooked. This process helps to enhance the flavor and texture.
- Once steamed, crush the garlic and mix it with salt and pepper. Rub this mixture all over the half-cooked tempeh to infuse it with flavor.
- After marinating, shape the tempeh into square pieces. Steam again for another 15 minutes to ensure it is thoroughly cooked and flavorful.

Make the Steak Sauce:
- In a non-stick skillet, melt some margarine over medium heat. Add the sliced onion, crushed garlic, and diced carrot. Sauté until fragrant and the onions are translucent.
- Pour in enough water to create a sauce base. Season with salt, pepper, sugar, and a dash of oyster sauce. Stir well.
- Mix the cornstarch with a little water to create a slurry, then add it to the skillet, stirring continuously until the sauce thickens. Taste and adjust seasoning as necessary.
-
Prepare the Vegetables:
- Boil water in a pot and add the prepared vegetables (potatoes, carrots, and green beans) cut to your liking. Cook until tender but still vibrant in color. Drain and set aside.
-
Coat and Fry the Tempeh:
- Prepare a two-bowl setup: one with wet batter (made from flour mixed with water) and the other with the all-purpose seasoning flour.
- Remove the steamed tempeh from the steamer and allow it to drain briefly. Dip each piece in the wet batter, then coat it thoroughly in the dry flour mixture. For an extra crunch, repeat this step.
- Heat oil in a frying pan and fry the coated tempeh until golden brown and crispy on all sides. Drain on paper towels to remove excess oil.
-
Plating:
- Once the crispy tempeh is ready, arrange it on a plate alongside the cooked vegetables. Drizzle the flavorful steak sauce over the tempeh and garnish with additional herbs if desired.
