Things to know about Kering Tempe Kacang Recipe

The Indonesian sweet and spicy fried tempeh and nuts are the ultimate side dish of the Indonesian culinary world.

This dish is locally called Kering Tempeh, which translates into Dry Tempeh. This is because of the cooking process, in which the tempeh is thinly sliced into matchstick size and fried until crisp. The fried tempeh is then candied in a mixture of palm sugar, tamarind juice, and chili pepper, providing a unique taste and texture you have never tasted before!
