Add Flavorings: Add palm sugar and sweet soy sauce to taste. Season with salt as needed. Pour in enough water to submerge the tofu and tempeh completely.
-
Cook: Bring the pot to a boil over medium heat, then reduce the heat and simmer until most of the water has evaporated and the tofu and tempeh are well-infused with the flavors, about 45 minutes to 1 hour.
-
Finish and Serve: Once the water has almost completely reduced, remove the tofu and tempeh from the pot. For a crispy texture, you can either deep-fry or grill them until golden brown. If grilling, simply place them on a grill and cook until they develop a crispy exterior.
-
Optional Note: If you prefer a less oily preparation, grilling works well, especially if you are out of cooking oil.
