Tempeh (super firm) 1 block (approx. 200g)
All-purpose flour or tapioca flour 6 tbsp

Instructions

Step Instructions
1 Prepare the Tempeh: Start by cutting the tempeh into strips or squares, then carefully hollow out the center to make room for the sambal filling. Set aside.
2 Make the Sambal: In a mortar or blender, combine shallots, garlic, and chili. Grind or blend the ingredients until smooth. Add the Royco seasoning powder and salt, then mix well.
3 Stuff the Tempeh: Carefully stuff the sambal mixture into the hollowed-out part of each tempeh piece. Ensure the sambal is packed well.
4 Prepare the Coating: In a mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour (or tapioca flour), chopped green onions, and a bit of crushed garlic. Add Royco seasoning powder and salt. Slowly add water to the mixture while stirring to form a smooth batter.
5 Fry the Tempeh: Heat oil in a pan over medium heat. Dip each piece of sambal-stuffed tempeh into the batter, then fry in hot oil until golden and crispy. Ensure the tempeh is fully cooked and crispy on all sides.
6 Serve: Once fried, drain excess oil from the tempeh and serve hot. Enjoy this crispy, flavorful snack with your family! 😍👍
