Tempeh is very versatile. In Indonesia, we use Tempeh for everything: curry, stir-fry veggie dishes, and more often with spicy tomato sauce. Below is one of the recipes:

Active Time: 45
Total Time: 30

Ingredients:

For Sambal (Chili paste):

  • vinegar
  • brown sugar
  • chopped garlic
  • shallots
  • habanero/jalapeno chili peppers

Blend together using a blender

For Tempeh:

  • tempeh (cut to small pieces)
  • stinky beans or Petai in Indonesian. Optional
  • chopped garlic

stir fry all together until crispy (use olive oil).

For additional sauce:

  • chopped tomato
  • lime leaf
  • lemon juice

Get rid of excess oil, and mix the crispy tempeh, stinky beans, dried shrimps, and chopped garlic with chopped tomato, lime leaf and lemon juice in a pan (low heat). Add the chilli paste. Throw in a small glass of water. Keep mixing until all the ingredients mixed well. Serve with white rice.
