Make Your Own Delicious, Savory, and Fail-Proof Mendol Tempe

Dream - Tempe mendol is a typical East Javanese food that is usually enjoyed with pecel, rawon, or other dishes. Unlike regular tempeh, mendol has a richer flavor because it is already mixed with spices. If Sahabat Dream wants to prepare tempeh in a different way, they can make mendol at home.

To make it not too difficult, although it looks simple, there are several tricks that need to be considered in order to achieve perfect results.

1. Choose Quality Tempe

Make sure to choose tempeh that is evenly white in color, firm, and does not have a sour smell. Avoid tempeh that has changed color or has black spots as this indicates that the tempeh has started to spoil. Fresh tempeh will provide a more delicious texture and taste to mendol.

2. Steam Tempe Before Processed

Before processing, steam the tempeh first to remove any unpleasant taste or odor. Cut the tempeh into several large pieces, steam for 15-20 minutes, and let it cool before further processing.

3. Using the Right Seasonings

Use the following ingredients: shallots, garlic, coriander, galangal, kaffir lime leaves, red chili (optional), salt, and sugar to taste. Grind the ingredients with a mortar and pestle to enhance the aroma and flavor, and add thinly sliced kaffir lime leaves for a more fragrant aroma.

4. Properly Softening Tempe

Blend or grind the tempeh, but leave a bit of texture so that it doesn't become too soft when fried. Mix the blended tempeh with the seasoning and stir until well combined.

5. Forming Mendol

Shape the tempeh dough into round or oval shapes according to preference. Make sure to shape it tightly so that it does not easily break when fried.

6. Frying with the Right Technique

Fry the mendol with a sufficient amount of oil and heat it over medium heat. Do not fry too many mendol at once to keep the oil temperature stable. Fry the mendol until it turns brown, then lift and drain.

7. Presenting Mendol Tempe

Mendol tempe is most delicious served warm as a side dish with rice or as a snack. Mendol tempe is also suitable for various events such as gatherings and family parties.
