1. Prepare the Tempeh: Begin by slicing the medium-sized tempeh into two equal halves, ensuring not to cut all the way through. This creates a pocket for the filling.

2. Make the Filling: In a mortar and pestle (or using a food processor), grind the red chili peppers, shallots, and garlic into a smooth paste. Heat a pan over medium heat, add a little cooking oil, and sauté the mixture until fragrant. Season with salt to taste.

3. Stuff the Tempeh: Carefully spoon the sautéed chili and garlic mixture into the pocket of the tempeh halves, ensuring they are filled well but not overflowing.

4. Prepare the Coating: Coat the stuffed tempeh in instant seasoned flour, ensuring that the surface is evenly covered. This will create a deliciously crispy exterior when fried.

5. Fry the Tempeh: In a deep pan or skillet, heat cooking oil over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, gently place the coated tempeh into the oil. Fry until golden brown and fully cooked, which usually takes about 3-5 minutes per side.

6. Drain and Serve: Once the tempeh is crispy and golden, remove it from the oil and drain on paper towels to absorb excess oil. Serve warm as a snack or alongside rice and vegetables for a complete meal.
