Creator Notes
When I was at school I waitressed at Bandung an Indonesian restaurant in Madison, WI. Tempeh originates from Indonesia and in remark that they know the compatible device to make it now not truly feel admire an alternative to meat. This is my take on a dish I haven’t had or considered since working there. The salty tempeh with the coconut lemongrass sauce pairs properly with the crunch of green beans. I extinct purple jasmine rice to sort a colourful meal. —meggrimes
