Instructions
-
Prepare the Tempe: Start by slicing the tempe into long strips. Set them aside as you prepare the batter.
-
Beat the Egg: In a small bowl, crack the egg and whisk it until it is well beaten. Set this aside for later use.
-
Make the Crispy Flour Mixture: In a separate bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and the chicken seasoning mix. Add Royco seasoning to taste, being careful not to oversalt. Mix thoroughly until the ingredients are evenly blended. It’s a good idea to taste the mixture to ensure the seasoning is to your liking—just be cautious not to over-season.
-
Coat the Tempe: Take a piece of the sliced tempe and dip it into the beaten egg, ensuring it is fully coated. Next, roll the egg-coated tempe in the flour mixture until it is completely covered. Repeat this process with all the tempe slices, ensuring each one is well-coated with the crispy flour mixture.
-
Fry the Tempe: Heat a generous amount of cooking oil in a frying pan over low heat. This allows the tempe to cook through and become crispy without burning. Once the oil is hot, carefully place the coated tempe into the pan. Fry them gently until they turn a beautiful golden brown, ensuring they are cooked all the way through.
-
Serve and Enjoy: Once all the tempe is fried to perfection, transfer them to a serving plate. The vibrant golden color is sure to catch the eye! Crispy tempe can be enjoyed as a snack or served as a side dish, making it a versatile addition to any meal.
