Ingredients

• 3 cups cooked jasmine rice (preferably day-old)
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 1 medium onion, diced
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 medium carrot, diced
• 100 grams green beans, chopped
• 150 grams tempeh, diced
• 3 tablespoons soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons kecap manis (sweet soy sauce)
• 1 unit red chili, sliced (optional)
• 2 stalks green onion, sliced
• 100 grams bean sprouts
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 units lime wedges (for serving)
• 2 tablespoons fried shallots (optional for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Begin by heating the vegetable oil in a large wok or frying pan over medium-high heat.

Step 2

Add the diced onion and sauté until it becomes translucent and fragrant, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 3

Stir in the minced garlic, and continue to stir-fry for another minute until golden.

Step 4

Add the diced carrot, chopped green beans, and tempeh to the pan. Stir-fry for about 4-5 minutes until the vegetables are tender and the tempeh is beginning to brown.

Step 5

Add the cooked jasmine rice to the pan, breaking up any lumps with a spatula or spoon.

Step 6

Pour in the soy sauce and kecap manis, mixing thoroughly to ensure the rice is evenly coated. If you prefer a spicy kick, add the sliced red chili at this point.

Step 7

Stir in the sliced green onions and bean sprouts. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, allowing the flavors to blend and the bean sprouts to slightly wilt.

Step 8

Season with salt and black pepper, adjusting to taste.

Step 9

Remove the fried rice from heat and serve with lime wedges. Garnish with fried shallots if desired for an extra crunch and flavor boost.

Step 10

Enjoy your Vegetarian Kampung Fried Rice, an aromatic and nourishing meal, perfect for any time of the day!
