• 200 grams tempeh
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon turmeric powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 cups vegetable oil

Method

1. 1

   In a bowl, combine soy sauce, garlic powder, turmeric powder, and salt. Mix well.

2. 2

   Add the sliced tempeh to the marinade and let it sit for 10 minutes to absorb the flavors.

3. 3

   In a plate, spread the all-purpose flour. Dredge each marinated tempeh slice in the flour, ensuring an even coating.

4. 4

   Heat vegetable oil in a frying pan over medium heat until hot.

5. 5

   Carefully place the coated tempeh slices in the hot oil and fry until golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes on each side.

6. 6

   Once fried, remove the tempeh from the oil and drain on paper towels to remove excess oil.

7. 7

   Serve hot as a snack or side dish, optionally with sambal (spicy sauce) for dipping.
