Instructions
-
Prepare the Tempeh:
Start by cutting the tempeh into small cubes. Steam the tempeh cubes for about 10-15 minutes until they are cooked through and tender. While waiting, finely chop the green onions, celery leaves, red onions, and garlic. -
Mash the Tempeh:
Once the tempeh is steamed and cooled slightly, transfer it to a mixing bowl. Using a mortar and pestle or a fork, gently mash the tempeh. Make sure not to mash it too finely; you want to retain some texture. -
Make the Meatball Mixture:
In the same bowl, add the tapioca flour, all-purpose flour, chopped green onions, celery leaves, red onions, minced garlic, and a little bit of warm water. Mix and knead the ingredients together until you achieve a smooth and pliable dough. It should not be too soft or runny. -
Season the Mixture:
Add the instant beef seasoning, meatball seasoning, salt, and MSG to the dough. Taste and adjust the seasoning according to your preference. -
Form the Meatballs:
In a large pot, bring plenty of water to a boil to create the broth. While waiting for the water to boil, shape the tempeh mixture into small balls, about the size of a golf ball. -
Cook the Meatballs:
Once the water is boiling, carefully drop the meatballs into the pot. Cook them for about 10-15 minutes until they float to the top, indicating they are done. -
Prepare the Spicy Sauce:
In a separate pan, combine the chopped bird’s eye chili, red onions, and garlic with a little oil. Sautรฉ until fragrant, adding salt and MSG to taste. -
Serve:
Remove the meatballs from the pot and serve them hot, drizzled with the spicy sauce. These bakso tempe are best enjoyed immediately while they are still warm.
