Hello dear Steemians, today it's time for another Indonesian recipe for vegetarian/vegan from me.
The dish is called "Oseng tempe pedas manis".
Perhaps this dish is what
meant in his comment at this article of mine last week.
The original recipe of this dish is quite spicy for most Eurepeans because it uses normally few red chilis and some green chilis too, but this time I only use green peperoni for the sake of my husband. _
If you can't even stand peperoni, then just go without it at all.
These are the ingredients you need for the dish:
- 1 block Tempe (ca. 400 g),
- 2 green peperoni
- 1 tsp tamarind, soak/dissolve in 50 ml water
- 2 cm fresh galangal (1/2 tsp ground galangal)
- 3-4 piece lime leaves
- 3 cloves garlic
- 1 onion (2 piece shallots, medium size)
- 5 cherry tomatoes
- 100 ml sweet soy sauce
- salt
- cooking oil
- Cut the peperoni crosswise and slice the tomatoes, garlic and onion thinly.
- Pour a bit of cooking oil on the pan and fry the garlic, onion, galangal and peperoni for a minute then add the tomatoes and lime leaves.
- Lastly put the tempe in the pan, fry it together for a minute then pour the sweet soy sauce and tamarind water in.
- Add some salt and keep stirring so that the spices could be absorbed well by the tempe and it doesn't burn. Tempe doesn't need to be cooked too long as it's actually already well cooked in the production process. The soy beans were cooked before the fermentation. A few minutes cooking is enough and the dish is ready to serve.
Have a nice meal everyone!
