Ingredients
| Ingredient | Quantity |
|---|---|
| Tempeh | 1/2 block |
| All-purpose flour | 5 tablespoons |
| Ground black pepper | to taste |
| Ground nutmeg | to taste |
| Egg | 1 large |
| Water | as needed |
Instructions
-
Steam the Tempeh: Begin by steaming the tempeh for about 10-15 minutes until it’s tender. This process not only softens the tempeh but also enhances its flavor.
-
-
Mash the Tempeh: Once steamed, transfer the tempeh to a mixing bowl and mash it thoroughly using a fork or potato masher until you achieve a smooth consistency.
-
Combine Ingredients: Add the all-purpose flour, egg, ground black pepper, ground nutmeg, and a splash of water to the mashed tempeh. Mix all the ingredients well until you have a homogenous mixture. If the batter is too dry, add more water a little at a time until it reaches a slightly sticky but manageable consistency.
-
Shape the Nuggets: To form the nuggets, use a mold or simply scoop out portions of the mixture with a spoon and shape them into your desired nugget size. If you prefer a more uniform shape, using a mold or cookie cutter can help.
-
Fry the Nuggets: Heat oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, carefully place the nuggets in the pan. Fry them until they are golden brown and crispy on both sides, about 3-4 minutes per side. Ensure they are cooked evenly.
-
Drain and Serve: Once cooked, remove the nuggets from the oil and place them on paper towels to drain excess oil. Serve your Homemade Tempe Nuggets warm, accompanied by your favorite dipping sauce or as part of a larger meal.
