Instructions

Prepare the Vegetables: Begin by boiling the green beans and carrots in a pot with a small amount of water and a pinch of salt. Cook until they are tender yet crisp. This should take about 3-5 minutes. Drain and set aside.
-
-
Fry the Tofu and Tempeh: While the vegetables are cooking, heat some oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Fry the tofu and tempeh cubes until golden brown and crispy on all sides. This step adds a delightful texture to the dish.
-
Sauté the Aromatics: In the same pan, after frying the tofu and tempeh, use the remaining oil and sauté the ground garlic, red onions, and red chili peppers. Stir until fragrant, which should take about 1-2 minutes. The aroma of the sautéed spices will enhance the overall flavor of the dish.
-
Combine Everything: Once the aromatics are fragrant, add the boiled carrots and green beans, along with the fried tofu and tempeh to the pan. Mix everything gently to combine the flavors.
-
Season the Dish: Add the soy sauce and salt to taste, stirring well to ensure that all ingredients are evenly coated. Allow the mixture to cook for another 2-3 minutes, letting the flavors meld together beautifully. Remember, this recipe does not include MSG, so you can enjoy it naturally!
-
Serve: Once everything is cooked through and the flavors have combined, transfer the Oseng Tahu Tempe to a serving dish. Garnish with freshly chopped green onions before serving.
