Shape the Mixture: Using a lightly oiled piece of plastic wrap, shape the tempe mixture into patties or your preferred form.

Prepare for Frying: In a separate bowl, crack the egg and add a pinch of Royco seasoning. Whisk together until well combined. Dip each shaped tempe patty into the egg mixture, ensuring an even coating.

Fry the Patties: Heat oil again in the frying pan and fry the patties until they are golden brown and crispy on both sides. Remove and drain on paper towels.
