Sambal Goreng Tempe


freshly prepared Sambal Goreng Tempe


Last week, I made this recipe. It was really great and it always reminds me of home. The kitchen smells as if I were in my hometown. Many people love tempe. Tempe originally comes from Indonesia and is made from fermented soybeans. It is a good meat substitute. It contains just as much protein as meat. Have fun with the Tempe recipe. I hope you enjoy the dish ;) Happy cooking!
