Prepare the Spice Paste:
Begin by blending the garlic, shallots, ginger, turmeric, ground pepper, and salt into a smooth paste. This will serve as the flavor base for the chicken, tofu, and tempeh. -
Marinate the Chicken, Tofu, and Tempeh:
Cut the chicken, tofu, and tempeh into bite-sized pieces. In a pot, combine the spice paste with bay leaves, galangal slices, and enough water to cover the ingredients. Add the chicken, tofu, and tempeh, then simmer until the water has evaporated and the flavors meld, about 15-20 minutes. -
Fry the Chicken, Tofu, and Tempeh:
Once marinated, heat oil in a frying pan and fry the chicken, tofu, and tempeh until golden brown and crispy on the outside. -
Prepare the Sambal:
In a separate pan, briefly fry the garlic and shallots until fragrant. Then, pound the fried garlic, shallots, and red chilies together, seasoning with salt and sugar to taste. To enhance the sambal, drizzle hot oil (used for frying) over the mixture. -
Serve:
Serve the Ayam Tahu Tempe Geprek hot, accompanied by warm rice and the spicy sambal on the side. Enjoy the combination of flavors and the warmth of this comforting dish.
