Ingredients

  • 7.05 ounces gr/ 7.05 oz Tempeh.
  • 2 scallions/ green onions/ spring onions.
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder.
  • ½ teaspoon ground coriander.
  • ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper.
  • ½ teaspoon salt or according to taste.
  • 2 bird’s eye chillies see the note.
  • 2 eggs lightly beaten.
  • ⅓ cup plain flour/ all-purpose flour.
  • Cooking oil for deep-frying.

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Break and mash the tempeh. Place it in a mixing bowl. Set aside.
  2. Finely chop the spring onions/ scallions and the chillies.
  3. Put the onions, garlic powder, black pepper, salt, chillies, flour and the beaten eggs in the mashed tempeh. Mix and stir well.
  4. Heat the oil in a frying pan. Drop a tablespoon of tempeh mixture in the oil at a time and leave space between the mixture. 
  5. Fry the fritters at moderate-high heat and flip once. Continue frying until they’re lightly golden. 

Notes

  • You can omit the chillies if you don’t want your Perkedel Tempe to be spicy. And if you don’t have fresh chillies, you can substitute them with a teaspoon of dried chilli flakes or ½ teaspoon of red chilli powder. I often use red Kashmiri chilli powder.
