Tumis Tempe with Sawi Putih (Stir-Fried Tempe and Chinese Cabbage)

Ingredients

Ingredient Quantity
Sawi Putih (Chinese Cabbage) 1 whole head
Tempe (Fermented Soybean Cake) ½ block (approximately 200g)
Chili Peppers (Caben Setan) 5 (adjust to taste)
Garlic 2 cloves
Shallots 3
Seasoning (optional) To taste
Salt 1 teaspoon
Gusir (optional) 1 teaspoon
Cooking Oil A little for frying
Water A splash (optional, to make it slightly saucy)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Ingredients: Start by washing the Sawi Putih thoroughly and slicing it into bite-sized pieces. Cut the Tempe into small cubes and finely slice the chili peppers. Mince the garlic and shallots.

  2. Heat the Oil: In a large skillet or wok, heat a small amount of cooking oil over medium heat.

  3. Sauté Aromatics: Once the oil is hot, add the minced garlic and shallots. Sauté until they are fragrant and golden, approximately 2-3 minutes.

  4. Add the Chili Peppers: Toss in the sliced chili peppers and continue to sauté until they soften slightly.

  5. Incorporate the Tempe: Add the cubed Tempe to the pan. Stir well to combine and cook until the Tempe turns a light golden color.

  6. Add Seasoning: If you prefer a saucy dish, add a splash of water at this stage. Then, mix in the seasoning (if using), salt, and Gusir (if desired).

  7. Finish with Sawi Putih: Finally, add the Sawi Putih to the skillet. Stir everything together until the cabbage wilts but retains its vibrant color, about 2-3 minutes.

  8. Taste and Adjust: Check the flavor and adjust the seasoning if necessary. Once everything is well combined and cooked to your liking, turn off the heat.

  9. Serve: Serve your Tumis Tempe with Ikan Goreng (fried fish) and Kerupuk (crispy crackers) on the side for a delightful meal. Enjoy this comforting dish!
