Slice the tempeh into thin rectangles approximately 2 inches long and 1/4 inch thick.
In a medium bowl, prepare the marinade by combining garlic powder, ground coriander, turmeric powder, white pepper, and low sodium vegetable broth.
Add the tempeh slices to the marinade, ensuring they are fully coated. Let them marinate for at least 10 minutes while you prepare the batter.
In another bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, rice flour, cornstarch, and baking powder. Gradually add water while stirring until you form a smooth, lump-free batter.
Heat vegetable oil in a deep frying pan or pot over medium heat to 350°F (175°C). To test, drop a small amount of batter into the oil – it should sizzle and float to the surface.
Dip each marinated tempeh slice into the batter, ensuring it is fully coated, and gently place it into the hot oil.
Fry the tempeh slices in small batches for 2-3 minutes per side or until golden brown and crispy.
Remove the fried tempeh from the oil and place on a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
Serve the Low Sodium Tempe Goreng Tepung immediately as a snack or side dish with your favorite dipping sauce or fresh vegetables.
