Tempeh Orek 250g

Tempeh Orek is an Indonesian dish made with tempeh, a traditional soy-based protein source. "Orek" refers to the cooking method used in Indonesian cuisine where ingredients are sautéed or stir-fried with a flavorful sauce.

To make Tempeh Orek, sliced or cubed tempeh is first marinated in a mixture of soy sauce, sweet soy sauce (kecap manis), and various spices such as garlic, shallots, ginger, and chili peppers. After marinating for a while, the tempeh is then stir-fried in a pan until it's golden brown and slightly crispy on the edges. The marinade helps infuse the tempeh with rich and savory flavors.

Depending on personal preferences and regional variations, other ingredients might be added to the dish, such as vegetables like bell peppers, onions, and carrots. Some recipes also include a touch of palm sugar or brown sugar to balance the flavors and provide a hint of sweetness.

Tempeh Orek is typically served as a main dish alongside steamed rice, making it a wholesome and satisfying meal. It's loved for its combination of textures and flavors, with the tempeh providing a hearty and nutty taste while absorbing the savory and slightly sweet sauce. It's a popular dish among both vegetarians and non-vegetarians in Indonesia and beyond, due to its delicious taste and nutritional value.
