Prepare the Corn Fritters (Bakwan):
- In a mixing bowl, combine the corn kernels, tepung bakwan, chopped celery, and ground shallots and chili. Gradually add water until the mixture reaches a slightly thick consistency.

Prepare the Bacem Tempe:
- Heat a small amount of oil in a pan and sauté the ground garlic and shallots until fragrant and cooked through.
- Add enough water to the pan to cover the tempeh and bring to a boil. Season with palm sugar and sweet soy sauce, adjusting to taste.
- Carefully add the scored tempeh pieces to the pan. Allow them to simmer until the sauce reduces and thickens, ensuring the tempeh absorbs the flavors. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
- Once the sauce has thickened and coats the tempeh well, remove from heat.
-
Serve:
- Plate the corn fritters alongside the bacem tempeh. Enjoy this delicious combination of textures and flavors!
