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![Smile Smile](https://damnlocal.sg/images/smilies/blush.png)
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.
