Day 23: Tempe Goreng Manis Pedas

Nope, I did not forget this challenge.

This is my lunch today.
Ayam Suwir Cabe Ijo (green chilli shredded chicken), stir fry green beans and tempe goreng manis pedas (sweet spicy fried tempeh!). Yahooo.. 

Obviously H ate only 1 tempeh, but I can't be bothered. 

I can live with tahu and tempe (tofu and tempeh) alone!
