Ingredients:

Ingredient Quantity
Sambal Goreng (see Sambal Goreng recipe) 3 tablespoons
Tempeh (cut into small cubes) 1/4 block
Anchovies (cleaned, soaked for 15 minutes, and drained) 100 grams
Cooking oil As needed

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Tempeh:
    Heat a frying pan over medium heat. Add enough cooking oil to shallow fry the tempeh. Fry the tempeh cubes until golden brown. If you prefer a softer texture, you can fry them until half-cooked. Once done, remove from the pan and drain on a paper towel.

  2. Fry the Anchovies:
    Using the same pan, add the drained anchovies and fry over medium heat. Cook until the anchovies turn crispy and lightly golden. Remove and drain on a paper towel to remove excess oil.

  3. Mix the Ingredients:
    In a clean pan, reduce the heat to low. Use the leftover oil from frying the anchovies to add extra flavor. Add 3 tablespoons of your prepared Sambal Goreng to the pan. Stir in the fried anchovies and tempeh, mixing well until everything is evenly coated with the sambal.

    Note: If your Sambal Goreng already contains salt and sugar, additional seasoning may not be needed. However, feel free to adjust the taste with more salt or sugar according to your preference.

  4. Serve:
    Your Sambal Goreng with Teri and Tempeh is now ready to be enjoyed! Serve it as a side dish with rice or as a flavorful snack.

Enjoy this savory, spicy dish that balances the crunch of fried anchovies with the tender texture of tempeh, all wrapped in the bold flavors of sambal.
