Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 400 g Tempeh
- 4 tbsp Soy sauce (low-sodium)
- 2 tbsp Coconut sugar
- 3 cloves Garlic
- 1 tsp Turmeric powder
- 1 tsp Coriander powder
- 0.5 tsp Salt
- 1 cup Oil (for frying)
- 1 piece Lime or lemon wedge (for serving, optional)
Instructions
Begin by slicing the tempeh into thin rectangular strips, approximately 1 cm thick, or into small bite-sized triangles if preferred.
Peel and finely mince the garlic cloves. Set aside.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together soy sauce, coconut sugar, minced garlic, turmeric powder, coriander powder, and salt to create the marinade.
Add the sliced tempeh to the marinade, ensuring all pieces are evenly coated. Allow the tempeh to marinate for at least 10 minutes to absorb the flavors.
In a deep pan or wok, heat the oil over medium heat until shimmering but not smoking.
Carefully add the marinated tempeh pieces to the hot oil in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Fry each batch for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy.
Transfer the fried tempeh to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
Serve the tempeh goreng warm with a lime or lemon wedge if desired. Enjoy as a high-protein snack, side dish, or topper for rice bowls.
