Tempe Goreng
Crispy, golden, and irresistibly savory, Tempe Goreng is a classic Indonesian dish that’s perfect as a snack, side dish, or appetizer. Made with thinly sliced tempeh marinated in a fragrant blend of garlic, coriander, turmeric, and salt, this recipe ensures every bite is bursting with bold, earthy flavors. The marination process allows the tempeh to absorb the spice-infused mixture, while frying it to perfection creates a delightfully crunchy texture. With minimal prep and just a few pantry staples, Tempe Goreng is a quick and easy way to enjoy the wholesome goodness of tempeh. Pair it with sambal for an added kick, or enjoy it on its own for a protein-packed treat!

Ingredients
- 300 grams tempeh
- 3 cloves garlic
- 1 teaspoon coriander seeds
- 0.5 teaspoon turmeric powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 100 milliliters water
- 250 milliliters cooking oil
Directions
Step 1
Slice the tempeh into thin, even pieces, approximately 1/4 inch thick.
Step 2
In a mortar and pestle or a spice grinder, crush the garlic cloves and coriander seeds together until they form a rough paste.
Step 3
In a mixing bowl, combine the garlic-coriander paste, turmeric powder, salt, and water to create a marinade.
Step 4
Add the sliced tempeh into the marinade, ensuring each piece is well-coated. Let it marinate for at least 10 minutes to absorb the flavors.
Step 5
Heat the cooking oil in a frying pan over medium-high heat.
Step 6
Once the oil is hot, carefully place the marinated tempeh slices into the pan, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan (you may need to fry in batches).
Step 7
Fry the tempeh slices until they are golden brown and crispy on both sides, about 3-4 minutes per side.
Step 8
Remove the fried tempeh from the pan and drain on paper towels to remove excess oil.
Step 9
Serve the Tempe Goreng hot as a snack, appetizer, or side dish.
