Coat the Tempe: Add the sliced tempe to the batter, ensuring each piece is well-coated.

Fry the Tempe: Heat oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Fry the battered tempe until golden brown and crispy. Remove and drain on paper towels.

Prepare the Sambal: Blend the bird’s eye chilies, garlic, and shallots into a smooth paste. In a separate pan, heat oil and sauté the sambal mixture. Add salt, seasoning, and adjust to taste. Once it’s halfway cooked, pour in water and simmer until reduced and flavorful.
