2. Add Water: Gradually add water to the flour mixture, stirring continuously until you achieve a smooth batter. The consistency should be just right—not too thick and not too runny—similar to that of pancake batter. Adjust the amount of water as needed.

3. Coat the Tempeh: Dip the thinly sliced tempeh pieces into the batter, ensuring each slice is fully coated.

4. Fry the Tempeh: Heat a sufficient amount of oil in a deep frying pan over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, carefully add the coated tempeh slices in batches, frying them until they turn golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes per side.

5. Drain and Serve: Once fried, remove the tempeh from the oil and let it drain on a plate lined with paper towels to absorb excess oil. Serve warm as a snack or side dish.

Serving Suggestions

Crispy Fried Tempeh can be enjoyed on its own or paired with a dipping sauce, such as a spicy sambal or sweet soy sauce. This dish is not only delicious but also a wonderful way to incorporate tempeh into your diet, providing a great source of protein and nutrients.
