| 1. Boil the tempe | In a pot, bring water to a boil and add the tempe. Cook for 10-15 minutes until softened. |
| 2. Mash the tempe | Once cooked, remove from the pot and mash the tempe until smooth and crumbly. |
| 3. Add ingredients | To the mashed tempe, add 1 egg, 5 tablespoons of all-purpose flour, a pinch of salt, and a little water. Mix thoroughly until the dough is smooth and no longer sticky. If the mixture feels too wet, add a bit more flour to reach a workable consistency. |

| 5. Prepare for coating | In one bowl, beat the remaining egg. In another bowl, place the bread crumbs (tepung roti). |

| 7. Fry the balls | Heat oil in a pan over medium heat. Fry the tempe balls in batches until golden and crispy, turning them occasionally to ensure they cook evenly on all sides. |
| 8. Serve and enjoy | Once golden and crispy, remove from the oil and drain excess oil on paper towels. Serve your crispy tempe balls warm, and enjoy this delicious snack! |
