A beautiful day taking your partner to the best restaurant in your town is sure to lift your spirits. But what if you bring the atmosphere of the restaurant into your home to enjoy togetherness. Creating an atmosphere inside the house will be more fun than outside, right? As someone who hates the company of crowds, it got me thinking of inspiring dinner plates with someone you care about.

Many already know, tempeh is very popular in my country, even tempeh can replace meat for the daily menu. The price is very affordable, you will get the best quality tempeh here. Even though the shelf life of tempe is not long, it proves that the market always runs out of stock of tempe if we come later in the evening to buy it.

Processing tempeh with various menu variants at home is relatively more frequent for me, apart from its delicacy, tempeh will taste different if it is processed with various flavors. Stir-fries, curries and even meatballs will create a different taste, so have you seen tempeh being processed into katsu?

Well katsu is one of the most popular foods originating from Japan, this one dish is usually served with teriyaki sauce that spoils your tongue. But what happens if I make a different variant of the sauce with tempe katsu, which is definitely made from simple ingredients. It's very easy to make, you just need to do some preparatory procedures for frying and sautéing the sauce. Let me take you step by step.
