Instructions
-
Prepare the Ingredients: Start by cutting the tempe into small cubes and cleaning the teri (anchovies) if necessary. Rinse the peanuts if they’re not roasted yet.
-
Fry the Tempe, Teri, and Peanuts: In a pan, heat enough cooking oil over medium heat. Once hot, add the tempe cubes and fry until golden brown. Next, add the teri and peanuts to the oil, frying until the anchovies are crispy and the peanuts are toasted. Remove from the pan and set aside on a paper towel to drain excess oil.
-
Sauté Aromatics: In the same pan, add a bit more oil if necessary. Sauté the sliced red chilies, shallots, garlic, and galangal until fragrant and softened. This should take about 2-3 minutes.
-
Make the Sauce: Pour a small amount of water into the pan and add the brown sugar. Stir well to combine, allowing the mixture to simmer until it thickens slightly, about 3-5 minutes.
-
Combine Ingredients: Once the sauce has thickened, turn off the heat. Gently fold in the fried tempe, teri, and peanuts into the sauce. Ensure everything is evenly coated and well combined.
-
