Mendoan (Tempeh Fritter)


This side dish came from Banyumas, a small city in Java. Very famous as a Tempeh City in Indonesia.
Tempeh for mendoan is special, the wrap soybean very thin...so, every mendoan is a big square thin tempeh dip in batter, then deep fry.
Mendoan means, half done.....yeah, originally they fry mendoan less than 1 minute. It's okay because the tempeh very thin.
I make my mendoan, completely done and crispy, I cut tempeh thinly.

So, this is it !

Ingredients :

Batter :
- 1/4 C rice flour
- 1/2 C all purpose flour
- 1/4 tsp baking powder
ground spice :
- 3 garlic cloves
- 2 candlenut or macadamia, optional
- 1/2 tsp corriander
- salt and pepper, for taste
- 1/2 tsp onion powder

-water, I never measured the water....just if you look the consistency a bit thinner than thick soup.

- green onion, chopped
- 1 block tempeh, cut thinly and square
- Oil for deep fry

Heat oil in deep fryer or skillet. Mix all batter ingredients, dip tempeh in batter before you fry them..
Put on paper towel after done to absorb the oil.
Enjoy while warm, or you always can bake for 10 minutes in oven or toaster to make them crunchy if you want to eat them later.

I'm just a house wive with many hobbies. Cooking, card making, baking (especially pastry), diving and the new one caking. I never thought I will decorate cake or cook before. In Indonesia, the country where I came from...maybe with people whom I knew..friends and families, no one vegetarian. Only me and my son...something odd for them. Sometimes I felt uncomfortable when they looked at me strange..I could read their mind " this lady is freak ". Once, I ordered fried noodle in restaurant. Special request..no meat, no shrimp, only vegetable. They added sausage and meat ball (bakso in Indonesia language). When I complained, the waiter said : But that's sausage and bakso. Geez, I didn't know what I have to do. I'm Budhist. So, after that I just said I'm Budhist and they respect more than vegetarian..hahaha. About cake, hhmmm...never made beautiful cake or delicious cake. I like cooking or baking just for myself and my son...until I met my husband Keith. He opened my eyes. I can cook delicious and I found the last thing I can bake nicely too. Thanks Honey !!! I still need to learn still newbie..
