Tempeh Orek Sambal Rica: Sweet, Spicy Stir-Fried Tempeh
Two Great Taste award winners, one recipe. Our Protempeh tempeh meets Dapur CUK's Sambal Rica, a garlic, ginger and chilli sauce, in this quick, sticky Indonesian favourite. It makes a great side dish, rice bowl topping or lunchbox filler.
Ingredients:
- 250g Protempeh tempeh, cut into small cubes or strips
- 3 tbsp Sambal Rica
- 2 tbsp kecap manis (sweet soy sauce)
- 3cm galangal, thinly sliced
- Cooking oil, just enough to lightly coat the tempeh
Method:
- Fry the tempeh: Heat a small amount of oil in a pan. Fry the tempeh until golden and lightly crispy. Do not deep-fry.
- Add the Sambal Rica: Add 3 tbsp Sambal Rica to the pan and stir well to coat the tempeh.
- Add the kecap manis and galangal: Add 2 tbsp kecap manis and mix until well combined. Add the sliced galangal.
- Finish cooking: Continue stir-frying until the sauce has reduced slightly and evenly coats all the tempeh.
