Tempe Bacem Bakar Recipe
Ingredients:
| Ingredient | Quantity |
|---|---|
| Tempe | 1 block |
| Shallots | 3 cloves |
| Garlic | 3 cloves |
| Coriander | 1 tsp |
| Bay leaves | A few |
| Brown sugar | To taste |
| Salt | To taste |
| Seasoning powder | ½ tsp |
| Water | For simmering |
Instructions:
- Begin by cutting the tempe into several pieces, ensuring they are of uniform size for even cooking.
- In a blender, combine the shallots, garlic, and coriander, blending until smooth. Transfer this mixture to a bowl and season with salt, brown sugar, and seasoning powder. Gradually add enough water to create a marinade, ensuring it’s well mixed.
- Place the tempe pieces in a pot, adding the bay leaves and the prepared marinade. Cook over medium heat, simmering until the liquid has evaporated and the tempe absorbs the flavors, which should take about 20-30 minutes.
- Once cooked, remove the tempe from the pot. Preheat a grill or non-stick skillet, then grill the tempe until golden brown and slightly charred, enhancing its flavor and texture.
- Serve your Tempe Bacem Bakar hot, garnished with fresh herbs if desired, perfect for enjoying alongside rice or as part of a larger meal.
