Step 1
Tear tempeh into small-medium chunks with your hands. You could also cube it, but I prefer the organic shape and it's easier to make too.
Step 2
Heat up 2 tablespoons of oil in a small pan. Once the oil is hot, add tempeh chunks and allow it to fry (without stirring) until browned on one side. Once golden-brown on one side, give it a stir and allow to brown on the other side. Lift out of the oil with a fork or a slotted spoon and place on a plate lined with a paper towel. Sprinkle with a generous amount of salt and set aside.
Step 3
Use leftover oil (or add another tablespoon of oil if needed to the same pan) to fry diced shallot for about 2-3 minutes on low heat - until translucent.
Step 4
Add garlic, lemongrass, and ginger. Sauté on a very low heat, stirring frequently.
Step 5
Next, add in sambal oelek, coconut sugar and lime juice. Allow the sauce to bubble a little on a low heat. Season with salt.
Step 6
Place fried tempeh in the sauce and stir well to coat.
Step 7
Serve with rice, broccoli and pickles. Garnish with fresh coriander and the green part of the spring onion.
