Instructions

  1. Prepare the Tempe: Begin by cutting the tempe into small cubes. This ensures even cooking and allows for better absorption of flavors.

  2. Coat the Tempe: In a mixing bowl, combine the cubed tempe with the tempe flour, ensuring each piece is well coated. This step adds a delightful crispness when fried.

  3. Fry the Tempe: Heat an adequate amount of cooking oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Once hot, carefully add the coated tempe cubes. Fry them until they are golden brown and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from the oil and drain on paper towels to absorb excess oil.

  4. Sauté the Aromatics: While the tempe is draining, finely chop the garlic and red onion. In a separate pan, add a splash of cooking oil and sauté the chopped garlic and onion over medium heat until they become fragrant and golden, approximately 3-4 minutes.

  5. Add Green Onion: Chop the green onion and add it to the pan with the sautéed garlic and red onion. Stir-fry for an additional minute to combine the flavors.

  6. Combine and Serve: Gently mix the fried tempe with the sautéed mixture in the pan. Ensure the tempe is well coated with the aromatics. Serve hot as a delicious side dish or as part of a main meal.
