What is tempeh? According to my mere knowledge of tempeh, its origin is from Indonesia. Made from soybeans into a cake by natural culturing and fermentation.
It is firm in texture and high in nutrition, widely as a staple source of protein in vegetarian cuisine. Tempeh keeps well in room temperature for 2-3 days. Was told not to keep it in the refrigerator which is moist and damp.
I have used it to cook curries and in several vegetarian dishes. Here, it is coated with batter and deep fried until crispy and serve with a sweet, sour and spicy dipping sauce.
These fritters makes a great snack for afternoon tea and best to eat them right after frying while still hot.

2 pieces [250 gm] tempeh [fermented soybean cake]

This dish is very tempting (I actually do not like tempeh) but I might change my mind after seeing this!
