Mendol Tempe Recipe
Ingredients:
| Ingredient | Amount |
|---|---|
| Steamed Tempeh | 250 grams |
| Tapioca Flour | 1 tablespoon |
| Garlic | 2 cloves |
| Shallots | 3 cloves |
| Salt | To taste |
| Seasoning Powder (Royco) | To taste |
| Chili Flakes (Bon Cabe) | To taste |
| Sugar | 1 tablespoon |

Instructions:
-
Steam the Tempeh: Begin by steaming the tempeh until it’s soft. Once steamed, mash the tempeh in a bowl. You can either use a fork or a mortar and pestle to achieve a smoother consistency.
-
Blend the Aromatics: Finely chop or crush the garlic and shallots. Combine them with the mashed tempeh, ensuring the flavors are well incorporated.
-
Mix the Ingredients: Add the tapioca flour, salt, seasoning powder (Royco), sugar, and chili flakes (Bon Cabe) to the tempeh mixture. If you want to add a touch of warmth and fragrance, a pinch of ground coriander can also be included at this stage.
-
Shape the Tempeh: Once the mixture is well combined, shape it into your desired forms. You can make round or oval-shaped balls, or even get creative with different shapes for a fun twist.
-
Fry to Perfection: Heat cooking oil in a pan over medium heat. Fry the tempeh pieces until they turn golden brown and crispy on the outside.
-
Serve: Once cooked, remove the mendol tempe from the oil and drain on paper towels to remove excess oil. Serve hot as a snack or a delicious side dish.
Enjoy this savory and crunchy tempeh treat with a spicy kick!
