Ingredients

Ingredient Quantity
Tempe 1 papan
All-purpose flour As needed
Green onions (chopped) To taste
Salt To taste
Seasoning (optional) To taste
Water As needed
Cooking oil For frying
Ground spices:
– Coriander 1 tablespoon
– Garlic cloves 3

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Tempe: Begin by slicing the tempe thinly to ensure even cooking. Set aside.
  2. Chop the Green Onions: Thinly slice the green onions and set aside for later use.
  3. Make the Batter: In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, chopped green onions, ground spices (coriander and garlic), salt, seasoning, and enough cold water to create a smooth batter. The cold water helps achieve a crispy texture.
  4. Heat the Oil: In a pan, heat cooking oil over medium heat; ensure it is hot enough for frying.
  5. Fry the Tempe: Dip each slice of tempe into the batter, allowing any excess to drip off, then carefully place it in the hot oil. Fry until golden brown and crispy, flipping as necessary.
  6. Drain and Serve: Once fried, remove the tempe from the oil and drain on paper towels. Serve warm and enjoy your delicious Tempe Mendoan! 😊

This delightful dish can be enjoyed as a snack or paired with rice for a complete meal, making it a versatile addition to your culinary repertoire.
