Instructions
-
Prepare the Tempe: Start by frying the tempe in a pan over medium heat until it’s cooked through, ensuring it remains tender and does not become too dry or crispy. Once done, set it aside.
-
-
Sauté Shallots: In the same pan, add a bit more oil if necessary, and sauté the sliced shallots until they become fragrant and golden.
-
Make the Spice Paste: Add the spice paste ingredients (candlenuts, ground coriander, shallots, garlic, curly red chilies, and tomato) to the pan. Stir them together and cook until the mixture is well combined and aromatic, about 3-5 minutes.
-
Add Liquid: Pour in a small amount of water and bring it to a boil. This will help meld the flavors together and create a sauce.
-
Incorporate Green Chilies: Once the mixture is boiling, add the sliced green chilies and sweet soy sauce.
-
Season to Taste: Season the stir-fry with salt, brown sugar, and Ro*co seasoning. Adjust the flavors according to your preference.
-
Combine with Tempe: Gently fold in the fried tempe and stir to coat it with the sauce. Allow it to cook together for another 3-5 minutes, ensuring the tempe absorbs the flavors.
-
Serve and Enjoy: Once everything is cooked to your liking, transfer the stir-fry to a serving dish. Enjoy your delicious Tempe Stir-Fry warm, either on its own or as part of a larger meal!
