Pan fried tempeh recipe

This is another idea on how to eat tempeh. This time just a very simple “dry” recipe, with no sauce – just pan fried tempeh with spices that can be used next to any side dish you like, in salads or even by itself.

Ingredients

  • 200 grams of tempeh
  • oil for frying (I used sunflower oil)
  • sweet or spicy paprika to taste
  • garlic powder
  • onion powder
  • salt

Directions

  1. Cut the tempeh into small cubes.
  2. Heat up a pan and add a thin layer of sunflower oil.
  3. Place the tempeh in and season with salt. Then add like 3-4 tablespoons of water, cover with a lid and fry the, for 7-10 min on medium fire or until they are golden.
  4. Flip on the other side, add a bit more salt, then add the same amount of water and cover with a lid for another 7 min.
  5. Once they are nicely golden add your spices to taste: paprika, onion and garlic powder.
  6. Serve warm next to a salad or side dish. Optionally, you can drizzle on it a sauce you like. For example I added here the Indonesian Ketcap Manis.
