Instructions
-
Prepare the Batter: In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, chopped green onions, egg, water, and seasoning. Whisk together until you achieve a smooth batter without lumps.
-
-
Prepare the Tempe: Slice the tempe into four equal pieces, creating pockets to hold the delicious mozzarella cheese.
-
Fill the Tempe: Gently place a piece of mozzarella inside each slice of tempe, ensuring the cheese is securely enclosed.
-
Coat the Tempe: Dip each filled piece of tempe into the batter, making sure it is well-coated. Then, roll it in the breadcrumbs, pressing gently to ensure the coating adheres well.
-
Fry to Perfection: Heat the cooking oil in a deep pan over medium heat. Once the oil is hot enough, carefully place the coated tempe into the oil. Fry until golden brown and crispy on all sides, usually about 4-5 minutes.
-
Drain and Serve: Once cooked, remove the tempe from the oil and place them on a paper towel to drain any excess oil. Allow them to cool slightly before serving.
-
Enjoy: Serve your Tempe Mozzarella Delights warm, with a side of your favorite dipping sauce for an extra burst of flavor.
