Instructions

  1. Prepare the Ingredients: Begin by gathering all your ingredients to ensure a smooth cooking process.

  2. Mash the Tempe: In a bowl, mash the tempe thoroughly until it reaches a smooth consistency. Gradually add a little water and the ready-to-use flour mix, mixing until the dough becomes sticky and moldable. For those who enjoy a salty flavor, feel free to add a pinch of salt.

  3. Shape the Nuggets: Form the tempe mixture into your desired shapes. If you prefer, create flat patties, leaving space in the center for the mozzarella cheese. This allows the cheese to melt perfectly while frying.

  4. Coat the Nuggets: Dip each formed nugget into the flour mix combined with a bit of water to create a light batter. After that, roll them in breadcrumbs until they are completely covered for a crispy exterior.

  5. Fry the Nuggets: Heat oil in a frying pan over low heat. Gently add the coated tempe nuggets, frying them slowly to prevent burning. Cook until they are golden brown and cooked through.

  6. Serve: Once cooked, remove the nuggets from the oil and drain any excess grease. Serve hot and enjoy the delicious combination of crispy tempe and melted mozzarella cheese.

  7. Optional Variations: For added nutrition, feel free to incorporate finely chopped vegetables such as carrots or green beans into the mixture. Alternatively, if you prefer, you can steam the nuggets before frying them for a lighter option that’s equally delightful.
