Ingredients

Instructions

1. Prepare the Tempeh: Start by cutting the tempe embus into your desired shapes and set it aside. You can choose to slice it thinly for a crispier texture or in thicker pieces for a heartier bite.

2. Mix the Batter: In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, rice flour, fried chicken seasoning, and flavor enhancer. Gradually add water to the mixture, stirring until it reaches a slightly thick consistency. This thickness is essential as it helps the batter adhere to the tempeh.

3. Add the Green Onions: Incorporate chopped green onions into the batter, enhancing the flavor and adding a touch of freshness.

4. Fry the Tempeh: Heat oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Dip each piece of tempeh into the batter, ensuring it’s fully coated. Carefully place the battered tempeh into the hot oil and fry until golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes on each side.

5. Serve: Once cooked, remove the tempeh from the oil and drain on paper towels to absorb excess oil. Serve warm and enjoy the crunchy delight!

Notes

• Feel free to adjust the seasoning according to your taste preferences. If you’re short on time or ingredients, using a pre-made fried chicken seasoning simplifies the process.
• This dish pairs wonderfully with a spicy dipping sauce or can be enjoyed as a side dish to complement your main meals.

Happy cooking! Enjoy your Crispy Tempe Embus – a deliciously simple treat that showcases the beauty of Indonesian flavors.
