This delightful dish of spicy sweet soy tempe brings together the rich flavors of Indonesian cuisine, creating a satisfying and savory meal that pairs beautifully with warm rice.

Ingredients

Main Ingredients
1 block of tempe
Spice Paste
5 shallots
4 cloves of garlic
15 red bird’s eye chilies
2 cm turmeric
2 candlenuts
Other Ingredients
ยฝ tsp ground pepper
1 tsp ground coriander
Salt, sugar, and seasoning to taste
1 small pack of kecap bango (sweet soy sauce)
250 ml of water

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Tempe: Slice the tempe into your preferred shapes and fry until golden and crispy. Set aside.

  2. Cook the Spice Paste: In a skillet, sautรฉ the spice paste ingredients until fragrant. Add the kecap bango, followed by ground pepper, ground coriander, salt, sugar, and seasoning. Stir well.

  3. Add Water: Pour in the water and let it simmer until the mixture thickens slightly, adjusting the taste as necessary.

  4. Combine with Tempe: Once the sauce is seasoned to your liking, add the fried tempe. Cook until most of the liquid is absorbed, allowing the flavors to meld beautifullyโ€”this is the key to that delicious โ€œnyemekโ€ texture.

  5. Serve: Plate the tempe hot, ideally served with a mound of warm rice for a truly satisfying meal.

Enjoy this spicy sweet soy tempe as a flavorful side dish or a star of your dinner table!
