Tempeh is a typical Indonesian food, Indonesian people really like tempeh because it contains a lot of protein, even a doctor from Indonesia also said that the highest protein found in Indonesian food is tempeh, besides high protein, tempeh also contains vitamins and minerals but is very low in calories and is very suitable for someone who is on a healthy diet program, but if you are on a diet, it is better not to fry it but rather steam it.
Why did I think of making this crispy tempeh stick?
Initially, it was because my child really likes eating nuggets sold in supermarkets, and now it so happens that the stock of nuggets for my child is running out, it so happens that there is a block of tempeh in the refrigerator so there's nothing wrong with me creating tempeh into a delicious food that is almost similar to nuggets, right? But don't worry, next time I will definitely make nuggets from tempeh
And as I said before, I really like making practical snacks and also from healthy ingredients like tempeh, besides adults, children can also eat it, especially for children, it is better to look for snacks with healthier ingredients, and it would be better if we make it ourselves at home so that we can easily know that the food is healthy, even though it is not 100% but at least we have tried to choose healthy food for our beloved family.
Okay, I will start making crispy tempeh sticks and I will also share the recipe with you.
8 tbsp wheat flour
8 tbsp breadcrumbs
1 clove of finely ground garlic
1/2 tbsp salt
1/2 tbsp mushroom stock
Cut the tempeh into 2 parts, then cut the tempeh into long sticks.
Soak the tempeh in the ground spices, add a little water to the ground spices then soak the tempeh for 5 minutes, so that the spices are absorbed.
After everything is cut, coat the tempeh with the wheat flour mixtu
Then put the tempeh in the breadcrumbs, coat all the tempeh in the breadcrumbs.
Prepare cooking oil, wait until the oil is hot, then fry the tempeh in the hot oil, until the tempeh is cooked through
Serve these crispy tempeh sticks with your favorite sauce. I use ABC brand tomato sauce. For those of you who like spicy sauce, you can serve it with your favorite hot sauce or sweet soy sauce.
Well, that's my child's favorite crispy tempeh stick dish at home. It's very easy and practical to make and serve. It tastes crispy, savory and delicious.If you want to eat a snack made from tempeh, I highly recommend making this snack, I guarantee it tastes really good, delicious inside and crispy outside.
