6. 6

   Once the oil is hot, add the tempeh strips in a single layer, working in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding the pan.

   ملاحظة الطاهي: Overcrowding will steam the tempeh instead of crisping it.

   Cook for 3-4 minutes per side, until golden brown and crispy.

   حوالي 8 د

   ملاحظة الطاهي: Adjust heat as needed to prevent burning.
