Tempeh is a delicious and super healthy meat substitute from Indonesia, made from fermented soybeans. The taste can take some getting used to if you have never eaten it before, but it soaks up flavors from a marinade. The marinade in this dish gives the tempeh a wonderful flavor that is hard to resist! You can serve this tempeh with your favorite rice or noodle dish.

Heat some oil in a frying pan and fry the tempeh until golden brown, then turn it over and fry the other side. Mix the ketjap with the soy sauce and sambal and add to the tempeh.
