Prepare the Tempe:
Start by steaming the tempe for about 10-15 minutes until it is thoroughly cooked. This helps soften the tempe for easier blending. -
Mash the Tempe:
Once steamed, mash the tempe with a fork or potato masher until it breaks apart. Then, transfer the mashed tempe into a blender. -
Blend the Ingredients:
Add the eggs, sago flour, all-purpose flour, Royco seasoning, garlic, and shallots into the blender with the mashed tempe. Add a small amount of water (just enough to help the blending process). Blend everything until smooth and well combined. -
Steam the Mixture:
Once the mixture is blended, transfer it into a greased dish or mold. Steam for about 20 minutes until the mixture is firm and set. After steaming, let it cool down before cutting it into bite-sized pieces. -
Coat and Fry:
After cooling, dip each piece of the tempe mixture into a beaten egg, then coat it generously with breadcrumbs. -
Fry Until Golden:
Heat oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Fry the tempe nuggets until they are golden brown and crispy on all sides. Remove and drain excess oil on paper towels. -
Serve:
Once crispy and golden, the tempe nuggets are ready to be served! Enjoy them as a snack or side dish with your favorite dipping sauce.
Pro Tip: You can serve these tempe nuggets with a spicy dipping sauce or a tangy mayonnaise dip for added flavor!
This simple yet delicious recipe makes the perfect vegetarian nugget alternative and is a great way to enjoy the health benefits of tempe.
