Sambal Kicap, Tempe Dan Tauhu Goreng

Fried Tempe and Tauhu (I don't know what we call these two items made of soy bean, in English), another favourite of mine and must serve with Sambal Kicap which is always stocked-up in the fridge. Can be served anytime as we wish.

In some area in Johor State, these two items can normally be found in the coffee shop in the rural area. Don't be surprised, have it as you eat banana fritters (goreng pisang?).
