This special Sweet Potato served at home is processed as a spicy side dish in combination with tempeh. Aromatic leaves are a characteristic that must be presented in this chili sauce so that it becomes a dish that has a distinctive taste.




Hi vegan lovers, this recipe is a spicy dish with the aroma of orange leaves. As a lunchtime accompaniment, it was inspired by my best friend's recipe for sweet potato as a spicy dish to be enjoyed with rice. Much to my surprise, I rarely make sweet potatoes into dishes that are enjoyed with rice.

Sweet, savory, and spicy is a combination that I look forward to and most importantly the sweet potato is fried soft and also the tempeh so that the combination of spices is perfectly absorbed. The distinctive aroma of chili and lime leaves made me hungry and I had to enjoy it immediately. The taste is spectacular, as a spicy lover of course this is a delicious dish. Especially enjoyed with warm white rice sweet potatoes become very delicious.
