Ingredients

Ingredient Quantity
Tempe 1 block
Tofu 2 pieces
Sweet soy sauce 1 sachet (about 1500 IDR)
Garlic 2 cloves
Shallots 4 cloves
Chili peppers (optional) 5 pieces
Tomatoes 2 pieces
Cooking oil 3 tablespoons
Water As needed
Sugar To taste
Salt To taste
Cornstarch (optional) 1 tablespoon
Water (for cornstarch) 6 tablespoons

Instructions

  1. Preparation: Cut the tempe and tofu into your desired shapes, ideally in long rectangles for an appealing presentation. Thinly slice the garlic, shallots, chili peppers, and tomatoes.

  2. Sautéing Aromatics: Heat a frying pan over medium heat and add the cooking oil. Once hot, add the sliced shallots, garlic, chili peppers, and tomatoes. Sauté until fragrant and the shallots turn translucent.

  3. Add Tempe and Tofu: Gently introduce the tempe and tofu to the pan. Stir to combine, allowing the flavors to meld together.

  4. Flavoring the Dish: Pour in water just enough to cover the ingredients. Add the sweet soy sauce, sugar, and salt. Allow the mixture to boil, letting the water reduce and flavors concentrate. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.

  5. Thickening (Optional): For a thicker sauce, mix 1 tablespoon of cornstarch with 6 tablespoons of water in a small bowl. Once your dish is boiling, gradually pour this mixture into the pan while stirring to ensure even distribution. Continue to cook until the sauce thickens to your liking.

  6. Serving Suggestions: If you prefer a soupy version, simply add more water, resembling a stew. For a drier version, use minimal water during cooking.

  7. Enjoy!: Serve hot as a side dish or over rice. Feel free to add seasoning as desired. Happy cooking! ❤️

This Kering Tempe Tahu recipe is sure to delight your taste buds and can be easily adapted based on your preference for spice and richness. Enjoy the ultimate Indonesian comfort food!
