Spiced stir-fried tempeh

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.

It can be eaten in a variety of ways, both hot and cold, to meet the needs of different taste buds: Refreshing cold drink: Eat it after chilling, it is refreshing and greasy, and it is an excellent choice for cooling off in summer. Cold eating: My favorite caramel ice powder Jiuniang glutinous rice balls, ice milk Jiuniang, ice Jiuniang coffee, etc., I love the feeling of slight smoke~~~ Hot food: The heated Jiuniang is warm and nourishing, suitable for eating in cold weather or when you need to warm up (such as brown sugar Jiuniang eggs, Jiuniang dumplings, etc.). Storage: It is recommended to store it in the refrigerator, and the shelf life can reach 1 month. In the low temperature environment of the refrigerator, Jiuniang will continue to ferment slowly. After being stored for more than 1 month, the wine flavor will be more rich and mellow. At this time, Jiuniang is especially suitable for cooking with eggs and glutinous rice balls. The dessert cooked out is full of wine aroma, rich taste, warm body and stomach. Drinking taboos: Although fermented glutinous rice is delicious, it contains a certain amount of alcohol. Therefore, pregnant women, breastfeeding women, people who are allergic to alcohol and children should not consume it.

Crispy Spiced Tempeh

A simple Indonesian snack: firm tempeh chunks gently coated in warm spices and fried until the edges are crispy golden. The dish offers a delightful contrast between a crispy outer layer and a soft interior, with just the right amount of warmth; its simplicity makes for easy execution, though it can get a bit dry if left in the pan for too long. Serving it with a fresh dipping sauce adds a touch of freshness.
