Ingredients
- 300 grams tempeh
- 3 tablespoons coconut aminos (or low-sodium soy sauce for non-strict low carb)
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 0.5 teaspoons turmeric powder
- 0.5 teaspoons coriander powder
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 0 salt (optional, to taste)
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 3 tablespoons coconut oil (for frying)
Directions
Step 1
Slice the tempeh into thin strips or small cubes, about 1/4 inch thick, to ensure even cooking.
Step 2
In a mixing bowl, combine coconut aminos, minced garlic, turmeric powder, coriander powder, black pepper, and lime juice. Mix thoroughly to form a marinade.
Step 3
Add the tempeh slices to the marinade, ensuring they are fully coated. Let them marinate for at least 10 minutes for the flavors to absorb.
Step 4
Heat the coconut oil in a skillet or frying pan over medium heat.
Step 5
Once the oil is hot, add the marinated tempeh pieces in a single layer. Cook for 3-4 minutes on one side until golden brown and crispy, then flip and cook the other side for another 3-4 minutes.
Step 6
Remove the tempeh from the pan and let it drain on a plate lined with paper towels to remove any excess oil.
Step 7
Serve the Low Carb Tempe Goreng warm as a snack, side dish, or with a fresh salad for a complete low-carb meal. Optionally, sprinkle a pinch of salt to taste before serving.
