Ingredients

• 2 pieces large eggs
• 120 milliliters liquid egg whites
• 100 grams tempeh
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 2 pieces shallots
• 2 pieces garlic cloves
• 1 piece bird’s eye chilies (optional)
• 1 tablespoon sweet soy sauce (kecap manis)
• 1 teaspoon soy sauce
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon pepper
• 1 stalk scallions (for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Finely slice the shallots, garlic, and bird’s eye chili (if using). Set these aromatics aside.

Step 2

Cube the tempeh into small 1 cm pieces.

Step 3

In a small bowl, whisk together the liquid egg whites and eggs until well combined. Add a pinch of salt and pepper.

Step 4

Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a non-stick frying pan over medium heat. Add the tempeh and cook until golden and slightly crispy. Remove the tempeh from the pan and set aside.

Step 5

In the same pan, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil. Lower the heat slightly and add the sliced shallots, garlic, and chili. Sauté until fragrant and the shallots are translucent, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 6

Push the aromatics to one side of the pan, then pour the egg mixture into the other side. Let it cook undisturbed for about 2 minutes until the bottom starts to set.

Step 7

Gently scramble the eggs to create large, fluffy curds while incorporating the aromatics. Add the cooked tempeh back to the pan.

Step 8

Drizzle sweet soy sauce and soy sauce evenly over the mixture and gently toss to coat everything in the sauces.

Step 9

Cook for another 1-2 minutes, ensuring the eggs are fully set and everything is heated through.

Step 10

Transfer the High Protein Telur Goreng to a plate and garnish with sliced scallions. Serve immediately with steamed rice and sambal on the side, if desired.
