Step 1
Slice the 8 oz tempeh into 1/4-inch thick pieces, about 12 slices. Set aside.
Step 2
In a bowl, whisk together 3/4 cup all-purpose flour, 1/4 cup rice flour, 1 egg, and 1 cup water until smooth. The batter should be thin and lump-free.
Step 3
Thinly slice 3 green onions and 1 shallot; stir them into the batter. Season with salt and pepper.
Step 4
Heat 1/2 inch of oil in a skillet over medium-high until shimmering, about 2 minutes. Dip each tempeh slice into the batter, coating well.
Step 5
Fry the coated tempeh in batches, not crowding the pan, until golden and crispy, about 3 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels.
Step 6
Serve hot with lime wedges and sliced chili peppers on the side for squeezing and dipping.
