Tempeh is one of the foods that has a delicious taste. In addition to being delicious, tempeh is known as a good source of protein for health. This soy-based food contains various nutrients such as protein, fiber, minerals, and antioxidants. These contents maintain overall body health.
One of the tempeh dishes that is easy to make is fried tempeh. This dish is often served as a side dish or accompaniment to the main meal. Apart from that, fried tempeh can also be enjoyed as a delicious and healthy snack.
Delicious fried tempeh usually has a savory taste and a very crispy texture. To get that crispiness, some people add flour to the tempeh before frying it. Flour is considered to be able to keep tempeh crispy for a long time.
In addition to using flour, some also choose to dry the tempeh before frying it. The tempeh is sliced thinly and dried in the sun until dry, similar to the process of making chips, resulting in very crispy and crunchy tempeh.
"So this is crunchy fried tempeh, but not tempeh chips," said YouTube SITI MH, quoted by BrilioFood on Tuesday (17/9).
It turns out, there is an easy way to make fried tempeh stay crispy without using flour or drying it. This trick was shared by YouTube user SITI MH. In the video, she shows that tempeh can stay crispy just by using the right frying technique. Tempeh can even last up to 1 month.

Now, if the tempeh no longer produces many bubbles, it is a sign that the tempeh is maximally crispy. Then remove and drain the tempeh. For maximum results, it is best to drain the tempeh on paper or kitchen tissue so that the oil is reduced. Once completely oil-free, the tempeh is ready to eat. If you want the crispiness to last longer, you can store the tempeh in an airtight jar. However, when you are going to store it, make sure the tempeh is cold. "Even though the pieces are thick, this tempeh is very crispy without the addition of flour or other ingredients. Just season it with salt and MSG. This is really delicious and can be used as a snack or side dish," explained YouTube SITI MH.
