I have been craving to eat dried fish. It’s salty and crunchy (if you deep fry them). It can be found relatively easy in the big Asian supermarket in Stuttgart, which I bought a few months ago but never got the chance to cook it. Here I found the idea of mixing tempe and dried fish, without having to use “too much” oil and still be able to add in some green. This dish can be cooked also for vegetarian, just remove the dried fish. I really enjoy this simple dish with steamed white rice. Yummyyy…. 🙂

INGREDIENTS
400 g Tempe, cut into rectangular shape, or any shape you prefer
250 g Beans, cut into approx. 2-3 cm length

4 garlics, chopped
3 big chilies (according to taste)
1 lemon grass, smashed

2 tbsp oyster sauce
2 tbsp light soy sauce
