Ingredients
- 250 grams Tempeh
- 2 tablespoons Coconut aminos (or low-sodium soy sauce if not strict keto)
- 3 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Ginger, grated
- 0.5 teaspoon Turmeric powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Coconut flour
- 4 tablespoons Avocado oil (for frying)
- 1 wedge Lime wedges (optional, for serving)
Directions
Step 1
Slice the tempeh into thin strips or bite-sized cubes, approximately 1/4 inch thick.
Step 2
In a bowl, whisk together the coconut aminos, minced garlic, grated ginger, turmeric powder, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.
Step 3
Add the tempeh slices to the marinade and gently toss to coat. Allow the tempeh to marinate for at least 10 minutes while preparing other ingredients.
Step 4
In a shallow dish, spread the coconut flour evenly.
Step 5
Remove the tempeh from the marinade, letting any excess drip off, and lightly coat each slice in coconut flour. Shake off any excess flour to avoid clumping.
Step 6
Heat the avocado oil in a large skillet over medium heat until shimmering.
Step 7
Carefully place the coated tempeh slices in the skillet in a single layer, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. Fry for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy.
Step 8
Remove the fried tempeh from the skillet and place it on a plate lined with paper towels to absorb excess oil.
Step 9
Serve the Keto Tempe Goreng warm with lime wedges on the side, if desired.
