Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 250 grams Tempeh
- 2 tablespoons Coconut aminos (or low-sodium soy sauce if not strict keto)
- 3 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Ginger, grated
- 0.5 teaspoon Turmeric powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Coconut flour
- 4 tablespoons Avocado oil (for frying)
- 1 wedge Lime wedges (optional, for serving)
Instructions
Slice the tempeh into thin strips or bite-sized cubes, approximately 1/4 inch thick.
In a bowl, whisk together the coconut aminos, minced garlic, grated ginger, turmeric powder, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.
Add the tempeh slices to the marinade and gently toss to coat. Allow the tempeh to marinate for at least 10 minutes while preparing other ingredients.
In a shallow dish, spread the coconut flour evenly.
Remove the tempeh from the marinade, letting any excess drip off, and lightly coat each slice in coconut flour. Shake off any excess flour to avoid clumping.
Heat the avocado oil in a large skillet over medium heat until shimmering.
Carefully place the coated tempeh slices in the skillet in a single layer, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. Fry for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy.
Remove the fried tempeh from the skillet and place it on a plate lined with paper towels to absorb excess oil.
Serve the Keto Tempe Goreng warm with lime wedges on the side, if desired.
