Begin by cleaning the jamur merang thoroughly. In a pot of boiling water, blanch the mushrooms for about 3 minutes, then set them aside to drain and cool. -

In the same pan, add the red and green chili along with the shallots and sauté them until they become fragrant and slightly wilted. Next, introduce the ground spice paste (bumbu halus) along with the lemongrass. Continue to sauté until the mixture becomes aromatic and thickens slightly. -
Combine the Ingredients:
Reduce the heat and pour in the sweet soy sauce, adjusting to your taste preference. Season with salt and sugar, and make sure to taste for balance. Gradually add in the previously blanched jamur merang, along with the fried tempe and tahu, ensuring that everything is well-coated in the sauce. Stir gently until all ingredients are combined and the flavors meld together beautifully. -
