“Why did it end up with tempeh, because we thought, local ingredients what is often consumed by all groups. “Finally this menu emerged,” said Gun when met at the Worldchefs Congress and Expo 2024.
Make tempeh go up a class
Gun revealed that there is another reason why tempeh is used as the main ingredient in the dish. One of the main reasons is to make food made from soybeans rise in class.
Because, quite a few people process this food ingredient into fried tempeh or scraped tempeh.
“We were wondering what to do with this tempeh. “It’s time to keep poking at it, it’s just fried like that, it’s time it’s just uncovered or read like that,” said Gun.
