Tempe Bacem - delicious Indonesian dish

 It seems like you're referring to "tempe bacem," another delicious Indonesian dish. Tempe bacem is marinated tempeh cooked with sweet soy sauce and various spices. Here's a simple recipe for you:


Ingredients:

  • 250 grams of tempeh, sliced into thin rectangles or cubes
  • 3 cloves of garlic, minced
  • 2 bay leaves
  • 2 tablespoons of sweet soy sauce (kecap manis)
  • 1 tablespoon of tamarind paste or tamarind juice
  • 1 tablespoon of palm sugar (gula jawa), grated or chopped
  • 1/2 teaspoon of salt (adjust to taste)
  • 1/2 teaspoon of coriander powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon of ground white pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon of ground turmeric
  • 1/4 teaspoon of ground galangal (optional)
  • 250 ml of water
  • Oil for frying

Instructions:

  1. In a bowl, mix together the minced garlic, sweet soy sauce, tamarind paste, palm sugar, salt, coriander powder, white pepper, turmeric, and ground galangal (if using). Stir until the palm sugar is dissolved.
  2. Place the sliced tempeh in a shallow dish or container and pour the marinade over it. Make sure all the tempeh slices are coated with the marinade. Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes, or for better flavor, marinate it overnight in the refrigerator.
  3. After marinating, heat a bit of oil in a pan over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, add the marinated tempeh along with the marinade. Add bay leaves as well.
  4. Pour water into the pan and bring it to a simmer. Let the tempeh cook in the sauce until the sauce thickens and the tempeh absorbs the flavors, stirring occasionally. This usually takes about 20-25 minutes.
  5. Once the sauce has thickened and the tempeh is tender, remove the pan from the heat.
  6. Serve the tempe bacem hot with steamed rice.

Enjoy your flavorful tempe bacem!
