Fry the Tempe: In a frying pan, heat a sufficient amount of cooking oil over medium heat. Add the tempe and fry until golden brown and crispy. Once done, remove the tempe from the pan and let it drain on a paper towel to absorb excess oil.

Sauté Aromatics: In the same pan, add about three tablespoons of fresh cooking oil. Once hot, add the sliced red shallots and garlic, sautéing them until they release their delightful aroma.

Add Herbs: Next, introduce the crushed galangal and lemongrass into the pan. Stir well to combine and allow the flavors to infuse the oil.
-
Cook the Shrimp: Add the marinated shrimp to the pan, stirring until they turn pink and opaque, indicating they are cooked through.
-
Combine Ingredients: Now, it’s time to add the fried tempe and the long green beans to the mix. Stir gently to combine all the ingredients thoroughly.
-
Season the Dish: Pour in the soy sauce and oyster sauce, followed by a sprinkle of Totole seasoning, sugar, salt, and pepper to taste. Add a splash of water to help meld the flavors together and stir until everything is well coated.
-
Add Tomatoes: As the dish cooks and the flavors meld, chop the tomato into chunks and add it to the pan. Stir gently to combine, allowing the tomatoes to soften slightly before serving.
-
