Certainly! Here’s a rewritten version of the “Semur Manis Tahu Tempe” recipe, tailored for Love With Recipes:
Sweet Soy Tempeh and Tofu Stew
Ingredients:
- 1/2 block tempeh, cut into pieces
- 10 pieces tofu, cubed
- 6 shallots
- 5 cloves garlic
- 1 roasted candlenut (kemiri)
- A pinch of black pepper
- Brown sugar, to taste
- Sweet soy sauce (kecap manis), to taste
- Salt, to taste
Instructions:
-
Begin by cutting the tempeh and tofu into bite-sized pieces. Heat oil in a pan and fry the tempeh and tofu until they are half-cooked. This step helps to give them a slight crispness and enhances their texture.
-
In a blender or food processor, combine the shallots, garlic, roasted candlenut, black pepper, and salt. Blend these ingredients into a smooth paste. This mixture will form the base of your stew’s flavor.
-
Heat a little oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the blended paste to the pan and sauté until it becomes fragrant and starts to brown. This step is crucial for developing the deep, rich flavors of the stew.
-
Add the partially cooked tempeh and tofu to the pan with the sautéed spices. Stir well to ensure the tempeh and tofu are evenly coated with the spice mixture.
-
Pour in the brown sugar and sweet soy sauce. Adjust the amounts according to your taste preferences. Stir to combine all the ingredients and let the mixture simmer. This will allow the flavors to meld together and the tempeh and tofu to absorb the delicious seasoning.
-
Continue to cook until the sauce thickens and the flavors are well combined. Taste and adjust seasoning as necessary, adding more salt or sugar if needed.
-
Once the tempeh and tofu are well coated and the sauce has reached your desired consistency, remove from heat. Serve the Sweet Soy Tempeh and Tofu Stew hot with steamed rice or your favorite side dishes.
Enjoy this flavorful and comforting dish that brings together the rich sweetness of soy sauce with the hearty textures of tempeh and tofu!
Feel free to adjust the sweetness or saltiness based on your taste preferences. This dish is perfect for a cozy dinner and pairs wonderfully with steamed rice.
