Rendang is a type of food that is very global. This rendang originally comes from the city of Padang, but there are various types of rendang in Indonesia and now there are many variations of cooking methods that are different from the original recipe. Well, if you look at the typical rendang from Minang, the color is a bit blackish, but they very rarely have rendang made from vegan ingredients.

As knowledge develops, many people modify rendang by using main ingredients other than meat. So today I will make rendang with tempeh, as we know tempeh is a processed food made from soybeans. Tempeh has a good texture even if cooked for a long time.

So, the tempe rendang that I make includes simple ingredients, and the cooking process is very fast. This is different from rendang in general, where the cooking process takes almost 3 hours, sometimes even more. Cooking tempe rendang only takes 30 minutes, you will find the delicious rendang texture.

In fact, when cooking rendang, we generally use pieces of turmeric leaves to strengthen the aroma and taste of the rendang. However, today I didn't have it at all, as a result I didn't use it. So, if you have it, you can add pieces of turmeric leaves to the spices in the rendang. In terms of quality, the taste is still very strong in the rendang category in general even without using turmeric leaves.
