Crispy Tempe Meatballs (Bakso Goreng Tempe)

Ingredients:

Ingredient Quantity
Tempe (small blocks) 4 small pieces
Tapioca flour (kanji) 8 cm (about 3.2 oz)
All-purpose flour 8 cm (about 3.2 oz)
Garlic (cloves) 4 cloves
Royco seasoning powder 1 packet
Salt To taste
Cooking oil For frying

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Tempe: Cut the tempe into small pieces. Steam the pieces until they are tender. This step softens the tempe and makes it easier to process.

  2. Make the Seasoned Paste: While the tempe is steaming, peel and finely crush the garlic with salt to form a smooth paste.

  3. Mash the Tempe: Once the tempe has cooled a bit, mash it well in a large bowl. Add the tapioca flour and all-purpose flour to the mashed tempe. Mix well to combine all the ingredients into a smooth dough.

  4. Shape the Meatballs: Take a portion of the dough and shape it into small round balls. Repeat this process until all the dough is formed into meatballs.

  5. Steam the Meatballs: Arrange the meatballs in a steaming tray and steam them for a few minutes, until they float to the top. This indicates they are cooked through.

  6. Cool and Fry: Allow the steamed meatballs to cool to room temperature. Heat oil in a deep frying pan over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, fry the meatballs in batches until they turn golden brown and crispy.

  7. Serve: Remove the fried meatballs from the oil and drain excess oil on paper towels. Serve hot and enjoy your delicious crispy tempe meatballs!


These crispy tempe meatballs are a delightful snack or can be served as part of a main meal. Perfect for anyone looking to enjoy a vegetarian, protein-packed dish with a crispy, golden exterior.
