Tempeh madness

Tempeh madness? Well, my MIL's maid enjoys eating Tempeh. It's more common among Malay cuisine over here than a Chinese cuisine. However, thanks to "Flavours" magazine which had a feature on Tempeh some time back... I got some rough ideas from it & also what I saw being sold at our local "Ekonomi" rice stalls.

I whipped up :
1) Tauchu Tempeh with Tau Kwa (Firm Tauhu) &
2) Dry Sambal Tempeh
Serves 2

Ingredients
1 packet Tempeh - cut into bite size pieces
1 piece TauKwa (Firm Taufu) - cut into bite size pieces
1 Tbsp Taucheo (Fermented Bean Paste)
1 Tsp Garlic chopped


Method

1. Heat wok with 3 Tbsp Oil. Fry the Tempeh till golden brown & set aside. Repeat the same with the TauKwa.

2. Leave about 1 Tbsp of oil remaining in wok, stir fry the chopped garlic & Taucheo abit. Then toss in the pre-fried Taukwa & Tempeh together. May add a bit of water if it's too dry.

Serve with white rice.
