About Sambal tempeh

Sambal Tempeh is a flavorful Indonesian dish that combines crispy, protein-packed tempeh with a spicy sambal sauce made from chili peppers, garlic, shallots, and sometimes a hint of sweetness from palm sugar. This traditional recipe hails from Indonesia, where tempeh—a fermented soybean product—is a staple due to its high protein content, gut-friendly probiotics, and nutrient density. Sambal Tempeh is rich in plant-based protein, dietary fiber, and healthy fats, making it an excellent choice for vegetarians and vegans. However, the dish can be high in sodium and saturated fats if prepared with excessive oil or salt. For a healthier version, consider limiting added sugar and opting for minimal frying. Bursting with bold flavors and packed with nutrients, Sambal Tempeh is a satisfying way to explore Indonesian cuisine while enjoying the benefits of a plant-based dish.
