Tempeh mendoan is a traditional tempeh recipe from Central Java, and hands down my favorite for many reasons. It is simple, delicious, and shows off all the best features of tempeh while being friendly to most diets (and it’s a great finger food)!

This kho (a word that loosely translates to “braise” or “to simmer down”) is my plant-based spin on a dish my bà ngoại often made with fish or pork belly.

Sambal Terasi - a funky and spicy fermented shrimp sambal!

Sambal Tempeh Kemangi - delicious and spicy fried tempe and lemon basil sambal.
