To celebrate World Tempeh Day on June 6th, I participated in the #MONOLOGUE challenge “Tempeh Without Borders: The June Tempeh Marathon,” an initiative by @Velvel and @doc_dells

This time, I want to introduce you to a tempeh dish: “Kering Tempeh.”

Kering Tempeh, which isn’t simply dried tempeh, is a dish prepared with spices in a special way. The result is a crispy side dish with a sweet, salty, and slightly tangy flavor.

With spices like shallots, garlic, small and large chilies, granulated sugar, brown sugar, salt, lime leaves, and a touch of tamarind, the dried tempeh acquires its sweet, tangy, and salty flavor.

This combination of flavors makes dried tempeh a popular accompaniment to porridge, yellow rice, mixed rice, or even plain white rice.

Kering Tempeh is not simply dried tempeh. Another advantage of dried tempeh is that, because it’s prepared without sauce and doesn’t spoil easily, it has a fairly long shelf life if stored properly. For this reason, many people take dried tempeh home as a souvenir or eat it while traveling.

Besides tempeh, dried tempeh can also be mixed with tofu, anchovies, or peanuts, depending on preference. Dried tempeh is not only common in Java but also in many regions of Indonesia. As a traditional Indonesian food, it’s used in numerous dishes.

So, what do you think about “kering tempeh” right now ? .. Do you want to try this ? .. :drooling_face:

Wow kering tempe ini adalah salah satu olahan tempe favorit saya Mbak @renyraynada21
Di tempat saya masih banyak yang menyebutnya sambal goreng karena irisan cabe-nya cenderung agak besar dan rasanya lumayan pedas manis. Tergantung juga selera, terkait resep, cara mengolah hingga memasaknya :raising_hands:

Hello Mbak @renyraynada21
Thank you so much for participating in June Tempeh Marathon Challenge #MONOLOGUE :hugs:

Tempe Kering is one of my favorite!
To be honest, I haven’t found tempe kering that isn’t tasty yet. Always crispy and delicious.

Bubur Suro, the porridge that is served with tempe kering is something new for me.
Since I haven’t found bubur suro in Jakarta yet, so next time I would like to custom the ingredients by mixing porridge with tempe kering :grin:

Wa’alaikumussalam warahmatullahi wabarakatuh mbak @renyraynada21 :glowing_star::sparkles:

Oh, what do I think about kering tempeh? I think it is an absolute masterpiece! :drooling_face: Taranya tiada dua! wkwkkw. Thank you so much for joining the #MONOLOGUE challenge and sharing this beautiful post to celebrate World Tempeh Day! :partying_face::tada:* Sorry for the (very) late reply to your post. :grimacing:

You described it perfectly; that magical combination of sweet, salty, savory, and a little bit of tangy kick from the tamarind and lime leaves is just pure perfection. It is the ultimate comfort food and a true lifesaver, especially when traveling or living abroad, thanks to its amazing shelf life! :luggage::airplane:

Personally, I love it when it’s mixed with crispy peanuts and tiny anchovies (teri), it adds that extra crunch that makes it impossible to stop eating. Paired with warm white rice or nasi uduk, it’s an instant favorite at the dining table! :cooked_rice::fire:

Your photos look absolutely mouth-watering and make me want to grab a bowl right now! :face_savoring_food: Thank you for showcasing one of Indonesia’s finest culinary treasures so beautifully, mbak.

Keep sharing these awesome food stories :star_struck: tagging the foodie @Velvel
