Tempe Goreng Telur: Crispy Tempe Fritters Recipe
Ingredients:
- 1 block tempe
- 1 large egg
- 2 cloves garlic, grated (or garlic powder as an alternative)
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- Salt, to taste
- Pepper, to taste
Instructions:
-
Prepare the Tempe: Begin by preparing your ingredients. Slice the tempe into bite-sized pieces. Steam the tempe for about 10 minutes to ensure it’s tender and ready for frying.
-
Prepare the Batter: In a bowl, combine the grated garlic (or garlic powder), all-purpose flour, salt, and pepper. Crack the egg into the mixture and whisk until the ingredients are well blended. If the mixture appears lumpy, let it sit for a few minutes to allow the flour to fully incorporate.
-
Coat the Tempe: Dip each piece of steamed tempe into the egg mixture, ensuring that it’s fully coated.
-
Fry the Tempe: Heat a generous amount of oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Carefully place the coated tempe pieces into the hot oil. Fry until golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes per side.
-
Serve: Once fried, remove the tempe from the oil and drain on paper towels. Serve hot as a delicious snack or side dish.
Enjoy your homemade Tempe Goreng Telur, a delightful Indonesian-inspired dish that’s crispy on the outside and tender on the inside!
