Which usually means that individuals usually rely on power foods and boxed blends instead of taking the time to prepare healthy meals to the families and our own personal enjoyment.

Wholesome cooking can be difficult since many folks do not need to spend time planning and preparing meals our families will not eat. At precisely the same time, we need our families to be healthy so we feel compelled to understand new and improved ways of cooking healthy foods to our family to enjoy (and unfortunately in certain instances scorn).

Another great bit of advice when it comes to cooking principles would be to take to simpler recipes for a while and expand your own horizons into the more complicated recipes that abound. Most recipes will have a small note in their degree of difficulty and you'll be able to go through the recipe to find out whether it really is something you are thinking about preparing or certain you could prepare.

BBQ Sambal Stingray is an iconic Singapore dish and I was supposed to share this recipe on the 9th of August to celebrate Singapore's 56th independence. The fact of the matter is, I wasn't happy with my 1st attempt. It felt rushed, tasted pretty blend and I couldn't bring myself to share that recipe with you lovely people. Besides, our national day celebration is postponed to 21st August (what an excuse eh?)

Eventually, I decided to sit down and take the time to craft this recipe thoroughly, rather than just slapped the tempeh with some sambal, smoked it and called it BBQ Sambal Tempeh.

Steps to make Smoked BBQ Sambal Tempeh

1. You can check out my previous post on how to make your sambal and pickle almost anything.
2. Prepare the tempeh.
   
   I am using 100% organic and plant-based tempeh. You should use the best quality of tempeh that you can find. It makes all the difference.
   
   Wash banana leaves thoroughly and pad them dry with a kitchen towel.
   
   Lightly toast the leaves over an open fire. This will brings out more flavors.
   
   Set them aside until ready to use.
3. Prepare the brine.
   
   In a large bowl, combine all the ingredients until the salt has dissolved.
   
   I separate the brine into 2 bowls as tempeh tends to float.
   
   Place the tempeh into the 2 separate bowls of brine.
   
   Cover and chill in the fridge for at least 24 hrs.
4. Prepare the spice rub.
   
   Toast mustard, white peppercorns and cumin in a skillet until aromatic.
   
   Transfer into a spice grinder and blitz until powder forms.
   
   Add in onion powder, garlic powder and gula melaka.
   
   Blitz until well combine and the gula melaka has broken down into a powder.
5. Prepare the glaze.
   
   Mix everything until well combined.
   
   Once everything is prepped and tempeh has brined, start roasting.
   
   Preheat oven to 205 degrees celsius or 400 fahrenheit.
   
   Steam the tempeh together with the brine, for 10 mins. Remove from heat and set aside to cool slightly.
   
   *This will remove most of the bitterness and also infused the tempeh with more of the brine flavors.*
   
   Place 2 large banana leaves onto 2 large parchment paper.
6. Once the tempeh is cool enuff to handle, remove the tempeh from the brine and place them onto the banana leaves.
   
   Brush the glaze onto the tempeh, coating them fully.
   
   Dust with the spice rub, reserving 1/4 for a later stage.
   
   Yes! On both sides.
7. Wrap the tempeh with the banana leaves and parchment paper.
   
   Transfer onto a baking tray, wack into the oven and bake for 10 mins.
   
   Remove from the oven, carefully unwrap as it is piping hot, brush the tempeh with more of the glaze and dust with the remaining spice rub.
   
   Return into the oven, unwrapped, and bake for 5 to 10 mins or until the glaze has almost dried up.
8. Remove from the oven and transfer onto serving plates with fresh banana leaves.
   
   Garnish with pickled cucumbers, onion and sprinkle some dried coriander over the top.
   
   Serve immediately.
