Ingredients

Ingredient Quantity
Tempe 1 block
Sambal Mateng To taste
Instant Tempe Flour 1 pack
Cooking Oil 1/2 kg

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Tempe: Slice the tempe into thick pieces, then carefully cut each piece in half without completely separating them, similar to how you would prepare tofu for stuffing.

  2. Stuff the Tempe: Fill each piece with sambal; for this recipe, sambal matah is recommended (you can find the sambal matah recipe in Mama OS’s collection).

  3. Coat with Flour: Take the instant tempe flour (brands like Kriuk, Sajiku, or crispy chicken flour work well), and dip the stuffed tempe into the flour mixture, ensuring it’s fully coated.

  4. Fry the Tempe: Heat the cooking oil in a pan. Once hot, gently place the coated tempe in the oil and fry until golden brown. Remove and let drain on paper towels.

  5. Serve: Enjoy your crispy tempe while warm!

Notes: You can substitute sambal matah with other sambal varieties you have at home, such as sambal terasi or sambal tomato. Keep it simple and enjoy! 😍😘
