Prepare the Tempeh:
Begin by steaming the block of tempeh until it becomes tender. Once steamed, cut the tempeh into thin, stick-like strips. -
Make the Batter:
In a mixing bowl, combine the egg, all-purpose flour, minced garlic, salt, pepper, and bouillon powder. Whisk the mixture until well combined, but leave some lumps for a better texture. -
Coat the Tempeh:
Dip each tempeh stick into the batter, ensuring that it is fully coated. Let any excess batter drip off. -
Fry the Tempeh:
Heat cooking oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, carefully place the coated tempeh sticks into the pan. Fry until they turn a golden brown and crispy on all sides. -
Drain and Serve:
Remove the fried tempeh from the pan and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil. Serve the crispy tempeh sticks warm with a side of sambal (chili sauce) for dipping.
