Ingredients
| Quantity | Ingredient |
|---|---|
| 6 slices | Tempe |
| 2 slices | Tofu |
| 3 tbsp | All-purpose flour (for wet batter) (I use Sasa) |
| 5 tbsp | All-purpose flour (for dry batter) (add more for extra crispiness) |
Instructions
-
Prepare the Batters: Begin by creating two distinct batters: the wet batter and the dry batter. For the wet batter, combine 3 tablespoons of all-purpose flour with 6 tablespoons of cold water in a bowl, stirring until you achieve a smooth consistency.
-
Make the Dry Batter: In a flat dish, pour in 5 tablespoons (or more for an extra crunchy texture) of all-purpose flour, ensuring it’s spread evenly.
-
Coat the Tempe: Take each slice of tempe and dip it first into the wet batter, allowing any excess to drip off. Next, transfer it to the dry batter, pressing down and turning the tempe to ensure it’s thoroughly coated. Repeat this step 5 to 10 times to achieve a robust crust.
-
Fry Until Golden: Heat oil in a frying pan over medium-high heat. Once hot, carefully place the coated tempe slices in the oil. Fry them until they are golden brown and crispy, which should take about 3-5 minutes on each side.
-
Serve Hot: Once cooked, remove the tempe from the oil and let them drain on a paper towel to absorb excess oil. Serve these crispy delights immediately, while they’re still hot and crunchy—your taste buds will thank you!
