Hello Foodies!
How are you guys?
I hope everyone is well.
It's been a while, right?
I haven't posted in almost a month. Finally I have the opportunity to write and post in this community again. So actually I just recovered from contracting the covid virus a week ago. I have to self-quarantine for 2 weeks. I was focused on my recovery, that's why I never post. I hope everyone doesn't miss me too much, hehehe...
Alright, today I want to share a very easy recipe. Bacem, maybe the name of this food is still foreign to some people, especially those from outside Indonesia.Bacem is a food processing method to preserve products, usually tempe and tofu. This food comes from Central Java, Yogyakarta and surrounding areas. For the taste, Tempe and Tofu bacem will taste savory and sweet. Instead of getting curious, I will immediately share the recipe.
1 large Tempeh
1 large Tofu
5 cloves of Shallot
3 cloves of Garlic
1 tablespoon of salt
1 tablespoon coriander
A few pieces of brown sugar (according to your taste)
1 teaspoon of powdered broth
bay leaf and galangal (if available)
Step 1
Cut the tofu and tempeh according to taste (I recommend a bit thick so it doesn't crumble when stirred)
Step 2
Mash or blender all ingredients.
Step 3
Put the tempeh and tofu into the pan, then add the mashed spices. After that add enough water, then cook until the spices are absorbed. After that, drain this.
Step 4
Heat oil in a frying pan and fry until golden brown. After that, serve it on a plate.
You can also store it in the refrigerator if you feel there is too much and it is impossible to eat it right away. Usually stored in tupperware and put in the refrigerator. When I want to eat it I just fry it.
That was the recipe for making tofu and tempeh bacem. I hope everyone like it. I'll be back with a new recipe again. So please look forward to it. Thank you for always reading my blog. Thank you for your support. Hope all of you are always healthy.
