Ingredients
- 300 grams Tempeh
- 100 grams All-purpose flour
- 30 grams Rice flour
- 180 ml Water
- 1 teaspoon Turmeric powder
- 1 teaspoon Coriander powder
- 3 cloves Garlic, minced
- 2 medium Shallots, finely chopped
- 1 stalk Scallions, chopped
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 200 ml Coconut oil
Directions
Step 1
Start by cutting the tempeh into thin slices, about 3 mm thick.
Step 2
In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, rice flour, turmeric powder, coriander powder, minced garlic, chopped shallots, and black pepper.
Step 3
Gradually add water to the dry mixture while stirring to create a smooth batter. It should be thick enough to coat the back of a spoon.
Step 4
Fold the chopped scallions into the batter.
Step 5
Heat the coconut oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Ensure there is enough oil to submerge half the thickness of the tempeh slices.
Step 6
Dip each tempeh slice into the batter, coating both sides evenly, and gently place them in the hot oil.
Step 7
Fry the mendoan until they are golden brown, approximately 2-3 minutes on each side.
Step 8
Remove the tempeh slices from the pan and drain on a paper towel to remove excess oil.
Step 9
Serve hot as an appetizer or snack. Enjoy your delicious low sodium mendoan!
