Hi foodies friends, how are you all? Today I am cooking Orek Tempe. Do you know what is tempeh ? Tempeh is a food made from soybeans as the main ingredient, tempeh is very suitable as a protein alternative to meat for vegan friends and tempeh can also be processed into many types in several different ways so that it can become a more interesting food, how to process it Tempe can be steamed, fried with vegetables and can be made into steak too, hehe.
If you make steak, this is a classier version of tempeh, then next time I will make a special one for all my friends. What I'm making now is called "orek tempeh" with the main ingredient being tempeh and stir-fried and mixed with simple spices, typically using sweet soy sauce because the taste of orek tempeh itself is sweet and spicy and savory. We can also add other vegetables if we like, we can add long beans, bean sprouts, green beans, anchovies and rebon shrimp, all of which we can cook according to our individual preferences, of course. Let's just prepare the ingredients
