Ingredients:

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Vegetables:

   • Begin by cutting the green mustard greens (sawi ijo) into smaller bite-sized pieces. Wash thoroughly to remove any dirt or grit. Set aside.

2. Prepare the Tempeh:

   • Cut the tempeh into small cubes. This will ensure that they cook evenly and become slightly crispy on the outside while retaining a soft texture inside.

3. Slice the Aromatics:

   • Thinly slice the shallots, garlic, and curly red chilies. Additionally, chop the palm sugar into small pieces to make it easier to melt later during cooking.

4. Sauté the Aromatics:

   • Heat a small amount of oil in a wok or skillet over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, add the sliced shallots, garlic, chilies, and palm sugar. Stir-fry the mixture until the ingredients are fragrant and the shallots become translucent.

5. Cook the Tempeh:

   • Add the diced tempeh into the wok and stir-fry until they turn slightly golden brown and crisp. This will take around 3-5 minutes.

6. Season the Dish:

   • Sprinkle in some salt, seasoning powder, and a bit more palm sugar (if needed). Stir to coat the tempeh and aromatics with the seasonings.

7. Add Water:

   • Pour a small amount of water into the wok to create a light sauce. Stir to combine.

8. Cook the Greens:

   • Toss in the green mustard greens. Stir and let the greens cook for a couple of minutes until they wilt slightly but still retain their bright green color and crunchy texture.

9. Final Touch:

   • Drizzle in some sweet soy sauce for a touch of sweetness and color. Stir well and taste for seasoning. Adjust salt, seasoning, and sugar if needed.

10. Serve:

• Once the greens have softened and the sauce has thickened slightly, remove from heat. Serve hot with steamed rice for a wholesome and delicious meal.
