Tempe cabai hijau // Tempe with green chillies

tempe cabe hijau2

Here is one of my favorite food.
Tempeh, or tempe in Javanese, is made by a natural culturing and controlled fermentation process that binds soybeans into a cake form. It is especially popular on the island of Java where it is a staple source of protein. Like tofu, Tempe is made from soybeans, but Tempe is a whole soybean product with different nutritional characteristics and textural qualities. (credit to wikipedia.org)

You can fried them with batter or without, cook with chillies etc, healthy food for vegetarian.
