For the Tiram Sauce

Ingredient Quantity

Oyster sauce 1 sachet
Water (boiled) As needed
Garlic (sliced thinly) 2 cloves
Seasoning (umami powder) 1/2 teaspoon
Granulated sugar A pinch

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Vegetables:
    Begin by boiling the carrots, green beans, and broccoli until they are cooked through but still crisp. Once cooked, drain and set aside.

  2. Steam and Mash the Tempeh:
    Steam the tempeh until tender, then mash it in a bowl.

  3. Mix the Tempeh Ingredients:
    In the bowl with the mashed tempeh, add the minced garlic, all-purpose flour, ground black pepper, and salt. Mix well until all ingredients are fully combined into a smooth dough.

  4. Shape the Tempeh Patties:
    Take small portions of the tempeh mixture and shape them into flat, round patties. Repeat this process until all the mixture has been shaped.

  5. Fry the Patties:
    In a frying pan, heat oil over medium heat. Fry the tempeh patties until they are golden brown and crispy on both sides. Once cooked, place them on paper towels to drain excess oil.

  6. Prepare the Tiram Sauce:
    In a separate pan, sauté the sliced garlic until fragrant. Then add the oyster sauce, seasoning powder, granulated sugar, sweet/spicy soy sauce, and a splash of boiled water. Bring this mixture to a boil, stirring occasionally. Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed.

  7. Assemble the Dish:
    On a serving platter, arrange the tempeh patties. Add the boiled vegetables alongside, and generously drizzle the Tiram sauce over everything.

  8. Serve and Enjoy:
    Your delightful Tempe Steak with Tiram Sauce is now ready to be served! This dish pairs wonderfully with steamed rice or can be enjoyed on its own for a healthy meal option. Enjoy every bite!
