Another malay side dish which is easy and quick to prepare. Tempeh is a traditional soybean cake which originates from Indonesia and is known to be very healthy.
Ingredients (serves 4):
2 blocks tempeh (or 4 packets), to be cut into cubes
4 stalks fresh chillies, to be washed, pat dried and thinly sliced - add more if you want extra spicy
8 shallots, to be peeled and thinly sliced
8 pips garlic, to be peeled and thinly sliced
2 to 3 tbsps sweet soy sauce (kicap manis)
salt to taste
cooking oil
Method:
In a wok, heat enough oil for deep-frying. Fry tempeh cubes a little at a time until almost golden. Do not over-fry. Remove to a tray which is lined with kitchen paper and set aside.
Pour out excess oil into a bowl and leave about 2 or 3 tbsp oil in wok. Add sliced chillies, shallots and garlic. Stir-fry until golden in colour. Then, add in fried tempeh cubes and stir well. Lastly, add sweet soy sauce and salt to taste. Stir well before serving.
Serve as a side dish with other main dishes and rice.
Bon Appetit!
