1. Prepare the Anchovy and Noodles:

   • Begin by frying the pickled anchovy slices until they are crispy and golden. Set aside.
   • Cook the gomak noodles in boiling water with a bit of oil to prevent sticking. Drain and set aside.

2. Make the Spice Paste:

   • Blend the kencur and ginger into a smooth paste.
   • Heat some cooking oil in a pan and sauté the spice paste until it releases its fragrant aroma.
   • Add the thinly sliced shallots and garlic to the pan and continue to sauté until they are softened and aromatic.

3. Add Aromatics:

   • Incorporate the bay leaves, galangal slices, lemongrass, and kaffir lime leaves into the pan. Stir to combine the flavors.

4. Prepare the Soup Base:

   • Add the green and red chilies to the pan, adjusting the quantity based on your preferred spice level.
   • Pour in water and coconut milk, stirring to mix well.
   • Season with salt and sugar to taste. Adjust the seasoning as needed.

5. Combine and Cook:

   • Once the soup base is well-seasoned, add the fried anchovy slices and pieces of tempeh.
   • Allow the mixture to simmer until the flavors meld and the soup is heated through, ensuring the tempeh and anchovy are thoroughly integrated into the broth.

6. Finish and Serve:

   • Add the cooked gomak noodles to the pot, stirring gently to combine.
   • Let everything simmer together for a few more minutes until the noodles are heated through and have absorbed some of the soup’s flavors.

7. Serving:

   • Serve hot, garnished with additional fresh herbs or chilies if desired.
