Title: Crispy Tempe with Egg (Tempe Goreng Telur)
Ingredients:
| Ingredient | Amount |
|---|---|
| Tempe (fermented soybean cake) | 1 block (about 250g) |

Instructions:
| Step | Instruction |
|---|---|
| 1. | Begin by preparing the ingredients. Cut the tempe into small pieces and steam them lightly for a few minutes. This step helps to soften the tempe and enhance its flavor. |
| 2. | In a mixing bowl, combine the grated garlic (or garlic powder), all-purpose flour, salt, and black pepper. Whisk them together until the mixture is smooth. If the mixture feels a bit lumpy, you can leave it as is—it will still work fine. |
| 3. | Crack the egg into the bowl with the spice mixture and whisk thoroughly to combine everything into a batter. |
| 4. | Take each piece of steamed tempe, dip it into the egg batter, ensuring it is well-coated on all sides. |
| 5. | Heat a pan with oil over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, fry the coated tempe pieces until they are golden brown and crispy on the outside. This usually takes about 3-4 minutes per side. |
| 6. | Once cooked, remove the tempe from the oil and place it on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil. |
| 7. | Serve your crispy tempe with egg hot, either as a snack or as part of a main dish. Enjoy! |
This simple, yet flavorful recipe brings out the delicious nutty taste of tempe with a crispy coating, perfect for any meal or snack time!
