I recently tried cooking tempeh and I must say I'm quite pleased with the results! The kids love it too, which is great because tempeh is nutritious and a pretty healthy ingredient. If you fry or bake it, it gets a crispy outer layer while remaining soft inside with a slightly nutty flavour.
My favourite way to cook tempeh so far is by frying it with sambal and long beans.
1. Bake tempeh cubes in air fryer with a little bit of oil, just to get it crispy on the outside
2. Meanwhile, fry onions and garlic in a bit of oil
3. Add sambal sauce to onions and garlic; make sure the heat is not too high and use a cover or the sambal fumes will choke you
4. You may add some sugar if you like slightly sweet sambal
5. Throw in the tempeh cubes and chopped long beans
6. Stir fry for a short while and then turn off the heat (I prefer the long beans to be slightly crunchy)
It should look something like the pic below.

Perfect with rice!
