   • Heat oil in a pan and fry the tofu cubes until golden brown and crispy. Remove and set aside.
   • In the same pan, fry the tempe cubes until slightly crisp. Remove and set aside as well.

2. Make the Spice Mixture:

   • In a small blender, blend the garlic and red chili peppers until smooth. This is your “bumbu halus.”

3. Cook the Dish:

   • Heat a little oil in a pan and sauté the blended spice mixture (bumbu halus) until fragrant and slightly golden.
   • Add the sliced small red chili peppers, large red chili, bay leaf, and lime leaf. Stir-fry briefly to release the aromas.
   • Pour in the sweet soy sauce, oyster sauce, and powdered broth seasoning (if using), followed by water. Mix well to combine all the ingredients.

4. Combine Tofu and Tempe:

   • Add the fried tofu and tempe into the pan, stirring gently to coat them with the sauce. Let the mixture simmer for a few minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.

5. Thicken the Sauce:

   • In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with a little water until dissolved. Slowly pour this mixture into the pan while stirring continuously. Continue to cook until the sauce thickens and coats the tofu and tempe evenly.

6. Final Adjustments:

   • Taste the dish and adjust the seasoning, adding salt or more soy sauce if necessary.

7. Serve:

   • Once the sauce has thickened and the flavors have melded, remove from heat. Serve hot with steamed rice and garnish with fresh herbs or additional chili slices if desired.

Enjoy this hearty and flavorful dish of Tahu Tempe Saos Tiram, a wonderful addition to any meal!
