Lara Lee's recipe for sticky tempeh and tofu with sambal
Briefly

The dish, known as tahu tempe goreng, features fried tempeh and tofu drizzled with lime and kecap manis, served with fiery sambal, creating a balance of flavors.
The preparation of tahu tempe goreng involves key ingredients like tomatoes, shallots, garlic, and chillies, which are slow-cooked to create depth in the sambal sauce.
Frying the tempeh and tofu until golden brown provides a satisfying texture that plays beautifully against the hot sambal, fresh cucumber, and tangy lime.
Sambal is integral in traditional Indonesian cuisine, adding heat, umami, and a distinct spiciness that transforms simple elements into an enticing dish.
