Verawaty's Sweet & Spicy Indonesian Tempeh with Rice (V)

A Taste of Home, Authentic Tempeh Cooked with Love

“Every time I make this dish, I’m reminded of home – the street food stalls, the family meals, and the comforting aroma of tempeh frying in the kitchen.” – Verawaty

Tempeh has been part of Indonesian cooking for centuries, and in this dish, Verawaty pairs it with potatoes and her signature sweet-spicy sauce. The result is a meal that’s hearty, nourishing, and full of character. The tempeh itself is made from fermented whole soybeans, giving it a nutty flavour and firm bite that soaks up the sauce beautifully.

Unlike processed meat alternatives, this is real, whole food, packed with protein, fibre, and goodness from the fermentation process. The sauce balances sweetness from soy with a gentle warmth from fresh chillies, making it flavourful without being overwhelming. Served over rice, it’s a comforting plant-based meal that feels both satisfying and special, ready in just minutes.
