Ingredients

Main Ingredients Quantity
Tempe 1 box
Batter Ingredients Quantity
All-purpose flour 10 tablespoons
Salt 1/2 teaspoon
Pepper 1/2 teaspoon
MSG 1/2 teaspoon
Fresh kaffir lime leaves 5 leaves
Water As needed (to achieve desired consistency)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Tempe: Slice the tempe into thin pieces for enhanced flavor absorption from the kaffir lime leaves in each bite.

  2. Slice the Herbs: Finely chop the kaffir lime leaves and, if desired, slice green onions thinly for an extra layer of flavor.

  3. Make the Batter: In a mixing bowl, combine all batter ingredients except for the water. Gradually add water until you reach a consistency that allows the batter to coat the tempe nicely.

  4. Fry the Tempe: Dip each slice of tempe into the batter, ensuring it is well-coated, then carefully fry them in hot oil until golden brown and crispy.

  5. Serve: Enjoy the tempe while it’s hot, savoring the delightful crunch and aromatic essence of the kaffir lime leaves. It’s utterly delicious!

This Tempe Goreng Daun Jeruk is a perfect snack or side dish, bringing a unique twist to traditional tempeh with the fragrant notes of kaffir lime. Enjoy the experience of frying and tasting this delightful dish!
