Every now and then, we buy a few items from the local Sayuan (vegetable man). This week our maid had bought this special Indonesia food from the vegetable man.
Do you know what it is?
This is a Indonesia specialty and it is very popular here.
It is called Tempe and is a soybean product. Local Indonesians eat lots of soybean products to get their daily protein. Meat is pretty expensive for them.
We are going to share a recipe for how to cook tempe the easy way.
