Hi bloggers and food lovers, do you like fried foods? Today I’m going to share my family’s favorite fried tempeh recipe. This dish is a common staple you’ll easily find if you visit Indonesia. Tempeh is made by fermenting soybeans and yeast. The tempeh is cut into pieces, coated in a savory flour batter, and deep-fried in hot oil. Okay, let’s get right to it
