Instructions

1. Prepare the Tempe: Cut the tempe into your desired shape; for this recipe, I recommend dicing it into small cubes. Heat oil in a pan and fry the tempe until golden brown, then remove it from the oil and set aside.

2. Slice the Aromatics: Finely slice the red and green chilies, garlic, shallots, and onion. Bruise the lemongrass to release its flavors.
