How to make Balinese Spiced Tamarind Tempeh Goreng
- Cut the tempeh into triangles.
- Stir the spice paste with the coconut milk and season with salt. Marinade the tempeh triangles in this for an hour, or overnight.
- Over medium heat, heat just enough oil to cover the base of a frying pan. Add the marinated tempeh, frying until golden then flipping over, before setting aside on kitchen paper.*
- Leave one tablespoon of oil in the pan and add the remaining marinade, bringing it to a simmer.
- Return the fried tempeh to the pan and toss to coat with the sauce.
- Finish with a squeeze of lime, coriander and chilli! This is so good as a snack or eaten with coconut rice or tossed through a big hearty salad with cucumber.
- Note: this can easily be baked in the oven as well.
