Sambal oelek or Shrimp Paste Chili sauce (page 23)

1 Heat the oil in a large wok or deep pot over medium high heat.

2 Slice the tempeh thinly on the diagonal so you have a somewhat rectangular shape,
like a parallelogram. Place the sliced tempeh in a mixing bowl and gently sprinkle bits

of water over all the tempeh.

3 Evenly dust both sides of the tempeh slices with the garlic powder and salt. Allow it
to marinate for 5 minutes while waiting for the oil to come up to temperature.

4 Gently place a few of the tempeh in the oil and fry for 2 to 3 minutes on each side
until golden brown. Drain on a paper towel. Serve warm with sambal oelek or Shrimp
Paste Chili Sauce.
