Orek Tempeh is a traditional Indonesian dish that combines lightly fried tempeh with long beans stir-fried in aromatic spices like garlic, shallots, galangal, and bay leaves. Its signature savory-sweet taste comes from a blend of sweet soy sauce, soy sauce, and oyster sauce, with a mild heat from green and red chilies. The crispy tempeh paired with slightly crunchy beans creates a balanced and appetizing dish. Orek Tempeh is best served as a side dish with warm steamed rice.
This kampung-style jackfruit curry dish is rich in flavor and feels “homemade”: tender boiled jackfruit is combined with tofu and chicken feet, then cooked in a fragrant curry-spiced coconut milk sauce. The fragrance of lemongrass, galangal, and bay leaves makes the sauce savory and warm, with a touch of sweet brown sugar balancing the flavors.
