Tempeh Manis
This tempeh recipe has authentic flavour and was taught to me by a villager in Bali. Usually, Tempeh Manis is deep-fried to gain the crispiness, but oven baking has the same effect, making it a healthy choice when cooking Indonesia’s wonderful cuisine.

Swapping the deep-fryer for some oven-baking results in a tasty Tempeh Manis that’s healthy too. Why not add this to your meal plan this week?
