Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 300 grams tempeh
- 3 cloves garlic
- 1 teaspoon coriander seeds
- 0.5 teaspoon turmeric powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 100 milliliters water
- 250 milliliters cooking oil
Instructions
Slice the tempeh into thin, even pieces, approximately 1/4 inch thick.
In a mortar and pestle or a spice grinder, crush the garlic cloves and coriander seeds together until they form a rough paste.
In a mixing bowl, combine the garlic-coriander paste, turmeric powder, salt, and water to create a marinade.
Add the sliced tempeh into the marinade, ensuring each piece is well-coated. Let it marinate for at least 10 minutes to absorb the flavors.
Heat the cooking oil in a frying pan over medium-high heat.
Once the oil is hot, carefully place the marinated tempeh slices into the pan, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan (you may need to fry in batches).
Fry the tempeh slices until they are golden brown and crispy on both sides, about 3-4 minutes per side.
Remove the fried tempeh from the pan and drain on paper towels to remove excess oil.
Serve the Tempe Goreng hot as a snack, appetizer, or side dish.
