Traditionally, Tempe is handmade and wrapped in leaves. However, thanks to Today's technology, you can easily find it at NTUC supermarket, under the halal cold section. (See pic below)
So I'm very happy to find everything I wanted in NTUC. French beans, Tempe, bean curd and Kokita's Sambal Balado.
According to my Indonesian friend, Kokita is a very famous brand so we are blessed to be able to have it readily available in Singapore. I would say that this paste is a little spicy so if you would prefer it to be spicier, you can dice chili padi to add extra punch to it. It is also on the salty side, so people like me who prefers your sambal to be a little sweet can add sugar to it. Otherwise, it is good alone. With this paste, it recommends you to make sambal hard boil eggs, which is good for nasi lemak, Nasi Padang or even Briyani.
Overall, this is a versatile sauce and it made my mum take notice of the dish, complimenting and checking out more of its products. So it's worthwhile getting!
Ingredients:
1 pack french beans washed, plucked off ends and cut
1 pack Tempe diced
1 pack bean curd sliced

2 tablespoon Kokita sambal Balado
