Ingredients

8 total
  • 400g tempeh, cubed
  • 1 tbsp vegetable oil, plus a drizzle
  • 200g green beans, trimmed and cut into bite-sized lengths
  • 2 garlic cloves, sliced
  • 1 red chilli, sliced (optional)
  • 2 tbsp kicap manis
  • 2 (250g) packs microwave jasmine rice
  • 4 pinches crispy fried onions (optional)

Method

4 steps
  1. Step 1

    Preheat the air fryer to 200°C. Toss the tempeh in the oil and cook for 10-12 mins, shaking halfway, until golden and crisp.

  2. Step 2

    Meanwhile, cook the green beans in boiling water for 2-3 mins until tender; drain.

  3. Step 3

    In a frying pan, fry the garlic and chilli (if using) in a drizzle of oil for 1 min, until fragrant; add the kicap manis and 2 tbsp water, stirring to make a glaze. Tip the cooked tempeh and green beans into the frying pan, tossing everything to coat evenly in the sticky sauce.

  4. Step 4

    Serve with microwave jasmine rice and a sprinkle of crispy fried onions, if you like.
