I prefer the latter one, as I feel like eating chips whenever I eat the thin version LOL
Ian loves tempe mendoan so much he requested to display some of his toys
His excuse was, this is one of my favourite food LOL
Recipe is from Sajian Sedap site
What you need:
2 blocks of tempe, thinly sliced
2 stalks of spring onion, chopped
300g plain flour
30g rice flour
30g tapioca starch / sago flour
500ml water
enough cooking oil to deep fry the tempe
Grind together:
2 cloves of garlic
1/2 tsp coriander powder
2 tsp salt
a dash of pepper
Method:
- Mix spring onion, all three flours, and the grinded ingredients in a large bowl
- Pour water and mix well til form thick batter
- Dip tempe into the batter and deep fry til golden brown
The fried tempe mendoan is best eaten immediately while it's warm
The skin is crisp while still able to taste the texture of the tempe inside
THe skin will turn soft after a few hours, but it's still yummy :)
Normally, it's eaten with sambal kecap (dark sweet soya sauce mixed with cut shallots and green bird's eye chillis)
Another way is to just munch together with pieces of green bird's eye chillis (this needs courage! LOL)
