Instructions
-
Prepare the Tempeh and Sausages:
- Cut the tempeh into thick slices. Carefully slit the center of each slice to create a pocket for stuffing.
- Slice the sausages to match the length of the tempeh slices, then cut them into quarters lengthwise.
-
Stuff the Tempeh:
- Take a piece of tempeh and fill the center pocket with the sausage slices. Repeat this for all the tempeh slices.
-
Prepare the Batter:
- In a bowl, mix the seasoned flour, chopped scallions, and enough water to create a smooth batter.
- Dip each stuffed tempeh slice into the batter, ensuring it’s fully coated.
-
Fry the Tempeh:
- Heat oil in a pan over medium heat.
- Fry the battered tempeh until it turns golden brown and crispy on all sides. Once done, drain on paper towels to remove excess oil.
-
Make the Cheese Sauce:
- In a small bowl, dissolve the cornstarch in 2 tablespoons of water. Add the egg yolk and whisk until smooth.
- In a saucepan, heat the milk over low heat and add the grated cheese, stirring continuously until the cheese melts.
- Slowly pour in the cornstarch mixture, stirring constantly to avoid lumps. Continue cooking the sauce until it thickens. Once thickened, remove from heat.
-
Assemble the Dish:

- Drizzle the warm cheese sauce over the top of the stuffed tempeh, coating it generously.
