Instructions
-
Prepare the Tempe: Begin by slicing the tempe into thin pieces. This will allow for a crispier texture when fried. Set aside.
-
Chop the Aromatics: Finely slice the green onion and remove the fibrous stems from the kaffir lime leaves. Cut the leaves into small pieces to release their fragrant oils.
-
Mix the Batter: In a bowl, follow the instructions on the tempe flour seasoning package to prepare the batter. Once the batter is ready, incorporate the chopped green onion and kaffir lime leaves. Stir well to ensure an even distribution of flavors.
-
Coat the Tempe: Add the sliced tempe to the batter mixture, tossing gently to coat each piece thoroughly with the flavorful batter.
-
Fry the Tempe: In a deep pan or skillet, heat sufficient cooking oil over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, carefully add the coated tempe pieces, frying them until they are golden brown and crispy, which should take about 3-5 minutes.
-
Drain and Serve: Once cooked, remove the tempe from the oil and place them on paper towels to drain any excess oil.
-
Garnish and Enjoy: Serve your crispy fried tempe warm, accompanied by fresh bird’s eye chili for an added kick!
