Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams Tempeh
- 3 tablespoons Coconut flour
- 2 tablespoons Tapioca starch
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Turmeric powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 2 large Eggs
- 2 tablespoons Coconut milk
- as needed Avocado oil (for frying)
- 2 tablespoons Water
Instructions
Cut the tempeh into thin slices, about 1/4 inch thick, or your preferred size for frying.
In a mixing bowl, combine coconut flour, tapioca starch, garlic powder, onion powder, turmeric powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly to create the dry batter.
In another bowl, whisk together the eggs, coconut milk, and water until a smooth liquid batter forms.
Heat avocado oil in a deep skillet or frying pan over medium heat. Use enough oil to submerge the tempeh slices halfway.
Dip each tempeh slice into the liquid batter first, ensuring it's fully coated, then press it into the dry flour mixture to coat it evenly.
Once the oil is hot (around 350°F or when a small drop of batter sizzles immediately), carefully place the coated tempeh slices into the pan. Fry in batches to avoid overcrowding.
Cook each side for about 2-3 minutes or until golden and crispy. Use tongs to flip carefully.
Using a slotted spoon, transfer the fried tempeh to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
Repeat the process with the remaining tempeh slices.
Serve hot with your favorite Whole30-approved dipping sauce or enjoy as is!
