2. Blend the Aromatics: In a mortar and pestle or a food processor, finely chop or blend the garlic cloves along with the rendang spice mix until they form a smooth paste.

3. Cook the Filling: Heat a small amount of oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Add the blended spice mixture and sauté until fragrant. Incorporate the crumbled tempeh, sweet soy sauce, salt, and sugar into the pan. Add a splash of water to help combine everything smoothly. Stir and cook for about 5 minutes, then remove from heat and let the mixture cool slightly.

4. Assemble the Samosas: Place a spoonful of the tempeh filling onto the center of each wonton skin. To form the samosas, fold the wrapper into a triangle, pressing down on the edges to seal. To ensure a secure closure, dab a little water along the folded edges.

5. Fry the Samosas: In a deep frying pan, heat oil over medium heat. Once hot, carefully add the samosas, a few at a time, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Fry until they are golden brown and crispy on all sides, which should take about 3-4 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.

6. Serve: Plate the crispy Samosa Tempe and serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce, such as sweet chili sauce or spicy ketchup.
