Instructions
-
Prepare the Tempeh: Start by cutting the tempeh into small cubes. In a hot frying pan, add a splash of cooking oil and fry the tempeh until it turns a beautiful golden brown. Once cooked, remove it from the pan and place it on a plate to cool.
-
Fry the Anchovies: In the same pan, add more oil if necessary, and fry the anchovies until they are crispy and golden. Be careful not to burn them. Once done, set them aside on a separate plate.
-
Sauté Aromatics: Using fresh oil, sauté the sliced onion and garlic in the pan until they turn a light golden color and release their fragrant aroma.
-
Add the Chilies: Once the aromatics are ready, add the green chilies, red chilies, and bird’s eye chilies. Stir-fry everything together until the chilies are vibrant and aromatic.
-
Incorporate Vegetables: Next, add the stink beans and snow peas. Stir-fry the mixture until the vegetables begin to soften but retain a slight crunch, ensuring they don’t become too wilted.
-
Combine Ingredients: Gently fold in the fried tempeh. Season the dish with salt, sugar, and pepper to taste. Pour in the sweet soy sauce, allowing the flavors to meld together.
-
Adjust Consistency: To prevent the mixture from becoming too dry, add a splash of water. Allow everything to cook for an additional two minutes, letting the water reduce slightly.
-
Final Touch: Finally, add the crispy fried anchovies to the mix, stirring gently to avoid breaking them. This ensures they stay crunchy and don’t lose their texture in the dish.
-
Serve and Enjoy: Once everything is well combined and heated through, transfer the dish to a serving platter. Enjoy Oseng Teri Tempe Cabe Hijau with steamed rice, savoring the delightful flavors and textures that make this dish a family favorite.
