Ingredients

Ingredient Quantity
Tempe 1 papan (about 250g)
Dried anchovies (teri) 100g
Long green chilies (cabe panjang) 4
Red shallots (bawang merah) 2
Garlic (bawang putih) 2 cloves
Salt (garam) To taste
Sasa seasoning To taste
Sweet soy sauce (kecap manis) To taste

Instructions

  1. Begin by slicing the tempe according to your preference; I recommend cutting it into long strips for an appealing presentation.
  2. In a frying pan, heat oil and fry the tempe until it reaches a semi-dry texture, allowing it to develop a nice golden color.
  3. While the tempe is frying, prepare the spice mixture by grinding the long green chilies, red shallots, and garlic together until they form a smooth paste.
  4. Once the tempe is cooked, remove it from the pan and set aside. In the same pan, sauté the ground spice mixture until fragrant.
  5. Add the fried tempe and the dried anchovies to the pan, followed by a sprinkle of salt, Sasa seasoning, and sweet soy sauce. Stir everything together until well combined, ensuring the tempe and anchovies are evenly coated with the delicious seasoning.
  6. Serve warm, and enjoy this flavorful Tempe Sambel Teri as a delightful accompaniment to your meal!

This vibrant dish combines the savory elements of tempe and anchovies, enhanced by a medley of spices for a truly unique culinary experience.
