Tempe Mendoan Simple - Indonesian dish made from thinly sliced tempeh

 Tempeh Mendoan is a popular Indonesian dish made from thinly sliced tempeh (fermented soybean cake) coated in a spiced batter and deep-fried until crispy. It's often served as a snack or appetizer and is known for its crispy texture and aromatic flavor. Here's a recipe to make Tempeh Mendoan:


Ingredients:

  • 250 grams tempeh, sliced thinly
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 green onions, finely chopped
  • 1 teaspoon ground coriander
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground turmeric
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground white pepper
  • 100 grams all-purpose flour
  • 100 ml water
  • Cooking oil for deep frying
  • Lime wedges for serving (optional)

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the tempeh:

    • Slice the tempeh thinly into rectangular pieces. You can adjust the thickness according to your preference.

  2. Make the batter:

    • In a mixing bowl, combine the minced garlic, chopped green onions, ground coriander, ground cumin, ground turmeric, salt, ground white pepper, all-purpose flour, and water. Mix well until you get a smooth batter. The batter should have a thick consistency that coats the back of a spoon.

  3. Coat the tempeh:

    • Dip each slice of tempeh into the batter, making sure it's evenly coated on both sides.

  4. Fry the tempeh:

    • Heat cooking oil in a deep fryer or a heavy-bottomed pot to 180°C (350°F).
    • Carefully place the battered tempeh slices into the hot oil, making sure not to overcrowd the pot. Fry in batches if necessary.
    • Fry the tempeh slices until golden brown and crispy, about 2-3 minutes on each side. Use a slotted spoon to remove the fried tempeh from the oil and drain them on a plate lined with paper towels to remove excess oil.

  5. Serve:

    • Serve the Tempeh Mendoan hot as a snack or appetizer. You can serve it with a side of sweet chili sauce or soy sauce for dipping. Optionally, garnish with lime wedges for an extra zesty flavor.

Enjoy your homemade Tempeh Mendoan, crispy and flavorful Indonesian snack!
