Ingredients:

Instructions:

1. Begin by finely chopping the garlic, shallots, and orange chili peppers.
2. Cut the tempe into small pieces, but don’t grind it completely. It should break apart but still have texture.
3. Heat a pan and add the garlic, shallots, and chili mixture. Stir-fry until aromatic and slightly golden.
4. Add the tempe pieces to the pan and stir well to ensure the tempe absorbs the flavors without becoming too mushy.
5. Season with salt, sugar, and powdered broth to taste. Stir-fry until the tempe is slightly crispy and golden, which enhances the dish’s texture.
6. Taste the sambel tempe, adjusting seasoning if necessary.
7. Serve the Sambel Tempe hot as a delicious side dish or snack.
