Instructions

  1. Prepare the Ingredients: Begin by cutting the tempeh and eggplant into pieces according to your preference. Set them aside.

  5. Simmer and Serve: Let the mixture simmer until the eggplant is tender, about 10-15 minutes. Taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary. Once done, remove from heat and transfer to a serving dish.

  6. Garnish and Enjoy: Serve hot with steamed rice or your choice of side. Enjoy this delicious and comforting dish that highlights the beautiful flavors of Indonesia!
