- Prepare the Tempe: Begin by steaming the tempe until it’s cooked through, then mash it until smooth in texture.
- Combine Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine the mashed tempe with one beaten egg and the desired amount of seasoning for flavor.
- Form the Balls: Take a small portion of the tempe mixture, flatten it slightly, and place a boiled quail egg in the center. Encase the egg completely with the tempe mixture and shape it into a ball.
- Chill: Place the formed tempe balls in the refrigerator for a bit to firm them up.
- Prepare for Frying: Once chilled, take the tempe balls out. In a separate bowl, whisk together another egg with liquid milk. Dip each ball into the egg mixture, then roll them in breadcrumbs to coat evenly.
- Fry: Heat oil in a frying pan, and fry the coated tempe balls until they turn golden brown and crispy.
- Serve and Enjoy: Once cooked, remove them from the oil and place them on paper towels to drain excess oil. Enjoy your delicious Bola-Bola Tempe Isi Telur!
