After reading the 2nd Onion day invitation on IMBB, I sent an email to Zorra regarding on that event. Thanks to Zorra for hosting this event. With my consideration of being an Indonesian, tempeh or tempe
Diced Tempe
I joined this event with Tempe Bawang Bumbu Kecap (literally tempeh and onion with sweet soy sauce. This recipe is adapted from ayam bumbu kecap’s recipe, literally in English, Chicken with Sweet Soy Sauce.
Indonesians (especially the Javanese) love to use kecap manis. This is a different soy sauce, it’s sweet (because it’s added in palm sugar), thicker and also has a different flavor with regular soy sauce. Mostly in abroad, people use ABC’s brand, for this recipe I used Bango’s brand which is not all Asian stores have it and to be honest I only use ABC’s brand if I can’t find Bango or Cap Sate’s brand.
Ingredients:
225 g tempe, cut 1 cm diced, marinate for 30 minutes, deep fry until lightly browned
1 medium (200 g) onion, wedged
2 Indonesian bay (salam) leaves
2 cm galangal
2 green chillies, angle cut
2 tbsp Indonesian sweet soy sauce (kecap manis)
1 tbsp oyster sauce

Marinade

I have yet developed a palate for tempe, but I know it's good for me! I love ABC sweet soy sauce. It is my 2nd most fav after Vietnamese fish sauce…
Di oz cap bango juga banyak tersedia lho… tapi klo ABC emang lebih terkenal lagi ^_^ di hampir supermarket ada
Anh, I found tempe's taste in abrod is not as good as in Indonesia. Even, while I was in Indonesia I don't like tempe's taste in Bogor, I like tempe from Malang or ProbolinggoWakakakak mbak Rit, soalnya di Winnipeg cuman ada dua ABC ama Indofood. Itu aja aku bawa dari Vancouver
This dish looks so mouth-wateringly good, please pass me a bowl of rice! Believe it or not, I have not eaten tempe before! Not sure where to buy it also! 😛
Here is a bowl of rice for you :)Anyway, if you can find at Asian market, try to look at Health/Organic stores, b/c I saw tempe at some health stores here

Is tempe usually used in a spicy dish with long beans and onions? I usually order this dish in rice stalls. Not sure if it is tempe. If yes, then I like it. 😀

Zorra, thanks to you tooTigerfish, it's not always.Tempe can be put in any style of dish. My favorite is mendoan tempe, tempe with batter and deep fry.If you have the picture of that dish, I will know it 🙂
I've never cooked with tempe before, and this looks really good. Do you have to do anything to the tempe before using it? Or do you just cut it up as it comes out of the package and start marinating it?? Thanks for posting this interesting recipe.
