Slice the tofu into 1.5 cm thick pieces and cut the tempeh into 5 mm thin slices.

Coat each piece of tofu or tempeh in the batter until fully covered.

Heat oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Once hot, carefully add the coated tofu or tempeh pieces, frying until golden brown. Flip them halfway through for even cooking.
