“Fish & Chips” sticks

Preparation: 

Cut your tempeh “brick” in half. Bring a small quantity of water to a boil over medium-high heat and add a steamer.
Place your tempeh in the water, cover and continue steaming for 10 minutes. This step will remove the bitterness from the tempeh.
Then let it cool down and cut it in sticks (not too thin to avoid that they break when you pass them in the oil).

Mix together all the spices for the “spice coating” then coat each tempeh stick in it (if you have any spices left over at the end, save them to add to the breading).

Mix together all the ingredients for the bread then add the cold water and whisk until smooth.
Heat the vegetable oil in a medium saucepan.
When the oil is hot, dip each stick in the breading and brown in the oil for about 1 minute on each side.
Drain on paper towels and repeat the process (it is possible to cook several sticks at a time).

Serve with sweet potato fries and tartar sauce.
