Tempeh Nasi Goreng
Nasi Goreng, literally “fried rice” in Indonesian, is so perfectly balanced between caramelised and tangy! For this recipe I am making my own kecap manis (Indonesian sweet soy sauce) and using tempeh for the first time!
Ingredients
Directions
Step 1
Cook the rice following instructions.
Meanwhile, prepare your kecap manis (sweet soy sauce): pour in the soy sauce and sugar in a small pan, boil over low to medium heat simmer until you get a maple syrup texture. Take out of fire as it will thicken as it cools down.
Step 2
Cut the tempeh into slices, and finely chop the garlic, chili and onion.
Step 3
In a large pan, heat the olive oil and stir the garlic and chili for a few seconds. Add onion and sauté for 2 minutes.
Step 4
Add the tempeh and 1tbsp kecap manis, and cook until it starts caramelising, about 2 minutes.
Step 5
Add cooked rice and 2tbsp kecap manis, and stir for another 2 minutes.
Step 6
Serve immediately and garnish with spring onion, fresh tomatoes, cucumber…
