Fry the Peanuts:
In the same oil, fry the peanuts until they are golden and crunchy. Drain and set aside. -
Fry the Anchovies:
Next, fry the anchovies in the remaining oil until they are crispy and well-cooked. Once done, remove from oil and set aside. -
Sauté the Ground Spices:
In a pan, use the oil left over from frying to sauté the ground spices (shallots, garlic, and optional chili) until fragrant. This should take about 2-3 minutes on medium heat. -
Add Whole Spices:
After the spices become aromatic, add the bay leaf, kaffir lime leaves, palm sugar, granulated sugar, salt, and tamarind. Stir well and avoid adding water to ensure a crispy texture. -
Combine the Ingredients:
Add the fried tempeh, peanuts, and anchovies to the sautéed mixture. Stir everything together until well combined, ensuring each piece is coated in the flavorful spices. -
