作法
- 炒鍋熱4大匙油至170°C。將天貝條分兩批各炸5分鐘至深金黃且邊緣酥脆。撈起置於架上瀝油。
- 於同一鍋油中將生花生炸90秒至剛轉金色。撈起——離火後仍會繼續上色。
- 倒掉大部分油，留2大匙。中火翻炒紅蔥頭片與蒜頭片4分鐘至深金色——切勿燒焦，會迅速變苦。
- 加入新鮮紅辣椒、泰國辣椒、香茅、南薑與撕碎卡菲爾萊姆葉。翻炒60秒直至廚房瀰漫柑橘松木般的香氣。
- 將棕櫚糖與羅望子加60毫升熱水攪散。連同kecap manis加入炒鍋。翻炒90秒——醬汁應收成黏稠光亮的糖漿。
- 將炸過的天貝與花生倒回鍋中。大力翻拌60秒至每塊均勻裹上醬汁。成品應油亮而非帶湯汁。室溫搭配熱飯食用。冷藏可保存4天，風味更佳。

文化背景
天貝是印尼對全球食物儲藏室最具代表性的貢獻——一種發酵黃豆糕，具有肉感與土香，全球直到2010年代才開始欣賞。Sambal goreng tempe是爪哇最常做的天貝菜餚；甜辣黏稠的平衡是爪哇料理的招牌，同樣可見於sambal goreng kentang（馬鈴薯）與sambal goreng ati（肝臟）。這道菜是完美的便當料理——冷熱皆宜、保存數日，並為平淡米飯與蔬菜增添蛋白質與辣度。
