The following recipes are all Indonesianinspired dishes using either tofu or tempeh. Some are more traditional in nature, such as the tofu fritters with tomato sambal, sweet and sour tempeh or gado gado, whereas others are my plant-based takes on the classics, such as tempeh rendang or the mildly addictive coconut and lime-kissed shredded tofu salad.
