Ingredients:

• For the Frying Mixture:

  • 1 block tempeh
  • 2 blocks tofu
  • 2 eggplants
  • 3 cloves garlic
  • 1 teaspoon coriander seeds
  • Salt, to taste
  • Water, as needed

• For the Sambal:

  • 6 curly red chilies
  • 8 bird’s eye chilies
  • 7 shallots
  • 1 clove garlic
  • 1 small packet shrimp paste (terasi, such as Mamasuka brand)
  • 1 large tomato
  • 1 slice lime
  • Salt, to taste
  • Granulated sugar, to taste
  • Cooking oil, for frying

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Frying Mixture:

   • Start by making the frying mixture: Blend together garlic, salt, and coriander seeds with a bit of water until smooth. This will serve as a marinade for your tempeh, tofu, and eggplant.

2. Prepare the Tempeh, Tofu, and Eggplant:

   • Slice the tempeh, tofu, and eggplant to your desired thickness.
   • Dip the tempeh and tofu slices into the prepared frying mixture, ensuring they are well-coated. For the eggplant, simply wash and slice it; you can skip the dipping step and proceed directly to frying.
   • Heat oil in a pan over medium heat. Fry the tempeh, tofu, and eggplant until they are golden brown and crispy. Set aside.

3. Make the Sambal:

   • For the sambal, finely slice the shallots, garlic, curly red chilies, bird’s eye chilies, and tomato.
   • Heat 3 tablespoons of cooking oil in a pan. Add the sliced ingredients along with the shrimp paste. Fry until the ingredients are softened and aromatic.
   • Transfer the mixture to a mortar and pestle (or food processor) and grind until smooth. Adjust seasoning with salt and sugar to taste.
   • Squeeze in the lime juice and mix thoroughly for a tangy kick.

4. Serve:

   • Arrange the fried tempeh, tofu, and eggplant on a serving platter. Top with the freshly made sambal.
   • Serve with warm rice and crispy crackers for a complete and satisfying meal.
