Sambal Tempe Kering




120gm tempeh
60gm groundnuts or peanuts
50gm anchovies/ ikan bilis
1 tbsp tamarind water
sugar
salt

Grind into a paste:
15 dried red chillies (cut into small parts and soak in hot water for 30mins)
(squeeze out excess water before grinding)
50gm shallots
1 nip garlic
1/2 in shrimp paste


Cut tempeh in small cubes. Deep fry the tempeh until crispy. Dish out. Fry groundnuts and dish out as well. You can use ready-made peanuts for this dish too if you don't want to use groundnuts. Then, fry the anchovies until crisp. Dish out as well.

In a wok, heat about 1/4 cup oil. Saute the grind ingredients until oil floats on the surface. Add in tamarind water (take a bit of tamarind paste and mix with water). Mix in sugar and salt to taste. Once the sambal thickens a bit. Mix in tempeh, fried anchovies and fried groundnuts. Stir to combine with the sambal paste. Dish out and serve as a side dish with rice.
