Super Crispy and Soft Fried Tempe Recipe
Ingredients
| Ingredient | Quantity |
|---|---|
| Tempe | 2 blocks |
| All-purpose flour | 8 tablespoons |
| Rice flour (Rose Brand) | 2 tablespoons |
| Baking soda | A pinch |
| Cold water | 1 to 1.5 cups |
| Spice mix (salt, pepper, coriander, garlic) | To taste |
Instructions
- Slice the Tempe: Begin by thinly slicing the tempe into even pieces to ensure consistent frying.
- Prepare the Spice Mix: Using a mortar and pestle, grind the spices (salt, pepper, coriander, and garlic) until smooth.
- Combine Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, add the ground spices, then pour in the cold water and baking soda, mixing well.
- Add the Flours: Gradually incorporate the all-purpose flour and rice flour into the mixture, stirring until the batter is well combined and slightly runny to achieve that ultimate crispiness.
- Fry the Tempe: Heat oil in a frying pan over medium-high heat. Carefully dip the sliced tempe into the batter, allowing any excess to drip off before placing it in the hot oil. Fry until golden brown and crispy.
- Drain and Serve: Once cooked, remove the tempe from the oil and let it drain on paper towels to absorb excess oil. Enjoy your super crispy and soft fried tempe as a delicious snack or side dish!
Note: Ensure that each tablespoon of flour used is slightly heaped for optimal crispiness. Enjoy!
