Fried tempeh flour dough is generally made from wheat flour. Usually this wheat flour is mixed with other spices such as garlic powder, coriander, salt and pepper. This mixture of ingredients can make fried tempeh crispier and tastier.

For a clearer process, prepare the tempeh and cut it into pieces first. Make sure the size is not too thin or wide, okay? After that, mix coriander powder, garlic powder and salt in one container. Don't forget to also add about 1 teaspoon of cornstarch.

Next, pour enough water and stir until all the ingredients are dissolved. Only then put each slice of tempeh into the bowl. Turn the tempeh over and let it sit for a few minutes so that the flavors absorb.
