Begin by slicing the tempe into thin strips, then marinate them with minced garlic, salt, and a splash of water for enhanced flavor.
Heat oil in a pan and fry the marinated tempe until it turns a beautiful golden brown, ensuring it remains slightly tender if that’s your preference.
Once all the tempe is fried, take the opportunity to fry the sambal ingredients: sauté the garlic, shallots, and bird’s eye chilies until fragrant and fully cooked, then drain any excess oil.
In a mortar and pestle, grind all sambal ingredients together, including the kaffir lime leaves, adding salt to taste to elevate the flavors.
