✿ Veganlovlie Recipes / How to Make Tempeh : Tempeh is one of the most rewarding things to make at home. I blogged about homemade tempeh back in 2012 but now it was time to make the video and share the experience that I have gained in making tempeh for several years. I have been able to improve the process into a much less laborious one with equally satisfying results.

Before I ask my question let me praise you for doing such a hard effort to make tempeh (or tempe actually without "h"). Where did you know about tempeh? Also are you interest in southeast asian food??
As a native Indonesian, I have to say you made a perfect tempeh and explained it clearly. For people who haven't eaten tempeh, I recommend you to try this because the taste is literally just like soy bean. The mold doesn't give any taste at all. Oh, if you don't want to cook tempeh right away, don't forget to store it in the fridge at least for 3-5 days.
am still discovering all these foods, thankyou for informing us of the taste of the mould, when watching the vidio was worries it would be bitter or sour
In my house (a native Indonesian here), we always dip them in spices before we fry them. Crush one garlic and some coriander (you can use powder one). Add a little bit of salt and then give them 2 or 3 spoons of water. Dip them for a few seconds before you fry them. That way the mold will go down and you will have tastier tempe.
i live in Florida and i have banana tree in my back yard but it has never had banana's, i guess its a banana tree it looks like one, will it that work?
@@magiccheeseball yes it will work. I've used spinach, cabbage and mustard greens, they all work just fine as long as the leaves are perforated with a needle 1/2 inch apart before placing the leaves down ready to be covered with inoculated soy beans or other substrate, such as ground peanut, lupins etc.
@@magiccheeseball banana is not tree but its like tree in term of taking care. What i mean is banana need exposure of sun in open space and not working in soil with hard rock under, if u want banana to grow a fruit. And remember banana just grow fruit only once in its life time. Hope this make u illuminate.
My wife is Indonesian and we decided to make tempeh by following your recipe. It turned out to be better than the tempeh that we eat in Jakarta. We are not vegetarians but we love to incorporate vegetarian meals in our diet. Terima kasih for the video!!!!
Greetings from Suriname .south america . We have tempe here at market because indonesians lives here as well . I love it very much and this morning I bought the starter and will try out my self .thanks again
I tried the tempeh recipe and it came out perfect. It's so good. So much better than the store bought tempeh. I love the mild nutty flavor. Delicious!! I put them in ziplock bags, between two cutting boards, in the oven and I left the light on. I made them on Thursday night and they were perfect on Monday. Thank you so much for the delicious recipes!!
I've been looking at a lot of sites to see how to make tempeh without a special fermenting container and your presentation was the clearest and simplest to follow. Anyone can tell that you're a master at it. I made natto yesterday by putting natto starter in sterile containers with the cooked beans in them and putting them in the oven with a lit bulb to keep them warm and everything worked out fine. I was planning to do the same thing with the Tempeh, but was a bit apprehensive because I've never done it before. Seeing you do it so successfully has given me a lot of confidence that I can break through. Thank you.
I make tempeh professionally in a small family-owned shop (about 1,000 lbs per week), and your technique and knowledge are really impressive! We dry dehull our beans by splitting them first; it is impressive that you get such good tempeh without dehulling. Cheers, keep up the good work!
Removing the hulls reduces the excess iso flavins that are plant estrogens, making for a more healthy food. Most people should not have plant estrogens as it gives a hormonal imbalance so when you make for the public, this is a better way to do it. I’ll never remove the hulls, but now I am going to.
I’m so into fermented foods right now! Growing up In North America, we were always taught any mould or fermentation was bad. Now we’re finding out probiotics are the cornerstone of health. Thanks for the video
This is a beautiful work of art. Thank you for such an easy to follow recipe like this. I'am Indonesian and i do really love tempe (we call it Tempe not Tempeh here) especially when you deep fried them and eat it with hot steam rice, a sambal which is made from thai chili palm sugar and garlic, and also lalap (it's kinda raw edible leaf, vegetable or fruit like tomato, cucumber, green eggplant, stink bean, sweet basil, and lettuce). The non vegan version is to add some shrimp paste to the sambal, and you eat it with fried tempe or tofu, and also crispy salted fish with all the stuff i mentioned earlier. Then you eat it near the waterfall, or in the middle of rice plant when the sun is heating the earth. Oh God, it tastes like a heaven. :)
I had no idea tempeh is an Indonesian food. Very cool! I'm starting to notice that many eastern countries eat natural and healthy foods unlike in western countries. Thank you so much for this amazing vegan/vegetarian recipe. I can't wait to try it. :-)
I'm and Indonesian who is now living aboard. I had no idea on how to make Tempe until I watched your video. Thank you! I will try make tempe this weekend
I absolutely LOVED this video. I had no idea I could make this at home. My local whole food store moved to a larger space and their tempeh actually doubled in price. I stopped eating tempeh altogether, because that rise was so costly! Thank you so much, for showing how easy this is to make. Blessings!
I wish all UA-cam videos were done this well and thoroughly. Your instructions were clear and concise. This video is a "one stop shop" for tempe making instructions. My OCD has been sufficiently satisfied. Thank you.
I just discovered your channel while looking for a good recipe for Soy Yogurt because it's so expensive to buy the ready-made ones, and I am so glad your channel exists. I have a GI condition and my doctor said I need to be eating fermented foods daily. I just wanted to say how much I appreciate your content, how approachable and easy to follow your recipes are. I'll for sure be incorporating both your yogurt and tempeh recipes into my daily life. Amazing work, and so very kind, keep doing the wonderful things you're already doing. 👍🏻
Also to add. If the banana leaf is sourced locally, i.e. behind your house, it may be too rigid. Hence running it slightly over a flame can help wilt it a little and allow you to use banana leaves for containing foodstuff without breaking when you fold them. Actually can contain even more than beans. If you make thick things like pudding its also possible. Just requires to form into a cylinder and fold one end to close it off, then add batter, fold the other end and steam for like 15 minutes
I am start to eat and love tempeh when i had been exposed to the “sambal tempe” by my Malaysian Javanese friend from State of Johore, Malaysia Federation when i am study in a college in 2011 in State of Perak, I love it, especially the texture n creamy umami natural flavor of tempeh.. Until now, i am eat tempeh everyday and i did it by myself to ensure that tempeh is always available,,, not easy to find out tempeh here in my hometown because no one consume tempeh.. heehhe
liquid out of the garbanzo beans called aquafaba and you can use it as a vegan substitute for eggs in bakery, especially in thing like marshmallows, meringue, macaroons, etc
Yes. We do have a recipe on the channel with aquafaba - this shortcrust pastry - ua-cam.com/video/0eMkzB27Yd8/v-deo.html and it works great. I've also used it in cookies and other baked goods. But the liquid from the soybeans here are mixed with 4 tablespoons of vinegar. So, a lot of that vinegar remains in the water. You could use the liquid as aquafaba only in recipes that call for aquafaba + vinegar (in the same amount as in the liquid here). I don't really know how much of the vinegar is in this liquid, so I tend to just toss this one out. :)
My dad used to make homemade Tempeh for me all the time before he passed away. I am part Indonesian, and LOVE Tempeh. Love your method and will have to try it. Thank you!
I miss tempeh sooo much since I can't find it in Japan, my friend actually succeeded in making them but she sells it so expensive :( I love tempeh very much and never miss a chance to eat them when I'm back to Indonesia for holiday. Now I think I will try to make it myself, I'm very grateful for the recipe :) Thank you so much!
Thank you for this. The instructions were clear. I just finished and cooked my own tempeh, and it's so much better than the store bought version. It didn't have the same bitterness and funkiness that I dislike in regular store-bought tempeh. I used chickpeas since they're the only legumes I had on hand. It turned out slightly mushroom and, once pan-fried, really juicy, and even meaty since I cooked the beans really tender. The tempeh starter cost was intimidating for me at first, but for very little, you can make tons of tempeh. It ends up being much, much cheaper than buying tempeh from the store. Highly, highly recommend this to everyone. Thank you again, for making a great quality video on the methodology, it made it much less intimidating/more accessible.
amazing .. i am originally from Indonesia and been eating tempe in my life but never make on my own. I want to try this, especially if i don't have to dehull ..Thank you for sharing this!
Thank you so much dear. With your guidance and failed attempts before, you have helped me make successful tempeh… My best present for Mother’s Day. HAPPY Mother’s DAY to you if you are a mother and may you be blessed with good health and long life.🌸🐬🌸🐬
Teenuja really observes and thinks about what she is seeing. She seems to have a good science background, too. Her variety of tips allow us to save time (No need to hull the beans; add vinegar near end of cooking; no-fuss ways to provide incubating heat). She completely illustrates what she is doing without adding distracting chatter. Nutritionally: Allowing the hulls to remain does increase the nutrients. And she points out that the tempeh culture eats up some of the gas-producing substances in beans (YAY for this!!) Adding extra ingredients (salt, fats, sugars) when cooking beans and grains can slow down water absorption and increase cooking time. So, as Teenaja says, add the vinegar near the end of cooking.
The tempe made from the tofu left over is called "Tempe Gembos" here in Java which means "soft/mushy tempe". It's not packed like normal tempeh and taste more like a bread.
Thank you for mentioning the black spots being ok to eat. I had tried making my own a few years ago and thought I hadn't kept things clean enough. I'm going to try again soon!
I've been making my own soymilk at home so I am excited to learn that you can use the leftover pulp to make tempeh! I'm going to have to give this a try!
dip them in a solution of water, garlic and salt. then fry them until they're brown and crisp. the thinner the slices are, the crispier. my best childhood junk food ever lololol
More likely people who needed to feed their family and couldn't afford to throw out food. We take for granted how cheap and easy it is to buy a bag of beans, but when you grow them and shuck them yourself you appreciate their worth.
OMG, this is so easy to make. I love grilled marinated tempeh, after seeing this I am going to save on so much for the tempeh I eat. Thank you so much, YOU ARE AMAZING!
I love love tempeh and now I will attempt to do it myself. Where I used to grow up in a big family protein were expensive ..bear in mind this was 1960's Singapore..so tempeh was a no brainer alternative for us. We ate it in rendang in sambals and even as a crispy fried snacks since potato chips was a rare treat for us kids.I am by no means a vegetarian but tempeh always hold a special place in my heart even after 40 years of living overseas. Actually there is a small area named Kampung Tempeh in Singapore..Kampung is a malay word for village..hence Tempeh Village. Of course it was named so due to the fact that tempeh was made fresh there. I am so excited that you showed us how to make tempeh in an easy to follow recipe. Thank you!
Thank you so much for this clear explanation. Tempeh keeps intestine healthy. I searched and discovered that you can it eat it raw or cooked. The raw keeps the live cultures act like yogurt and balances the digestive system. I will definitely try with banana leaves and glass containers, so easy and inexpensive way to make tempeh. 😌🙏
This was fascinating to watch. I appreciate how thorough you are and all the information you share, as well as the history. Does homemade tempeh taste similar to store bought? Is it noticeably different? Thank you. I enjoyed your video.
Westerners used to learn to make tempeh coming to Indonesia, but now they can learn to make tempeh from youtube. Thank you very much for making tempeh one of the world's favorite foods.
I loved this. I lived in Singapore for 26 years and tempeh was a favourite in rojak. After moving to India I never got to eat this. After lockdown I will get the starter and try this. Thanks a ton.
Watching this while munching some tempeh. Really, it is one of the Indonesian food that I missed dearly during my time traveling abroad. Tempeh chips and deep-fried tempeh really get your palates going for snack time. Thanks for the recipe ^^
super informative with great knowledge of food science. One of the best food video combined with cooking and science! I like it so much. Thanks for your work.
You make very beautiful tempe! I reccomend marinating in garlic and salt (I usually just go with salt though) and deep frying it instead of just pan frying it. If you slice it thinly you get crispy goodness. I sometimes forget that banana trees aren't common in there. You have to buy them in a store... Meanwhile if I need some (usually to make pepes or buras and stuff like that) I just... pick some in my yard 😂
After I watched your video, I feel so grateful I live in Indonesia. For three tempes that you made, I only need to pay for $1 here. Tempe is best if you deep fried it with only salt and eat it with rice and sambal (Chili sauce) or you can make batter with flour, salt, garlic powder, and leek. Dip the tempe and deep fried it. It taste nice
This was so interesting. I've never seen or heard about Tempeh before. In appearance it looks very much like Turrón which is made from peanuts, walnuts or almonds and a mixture of egg whites and sugar.
J Smith i also never heard of it, there's no tempeh here in the philippines, there is what we call turon, slice banana mixed with brown sugar and wrapped in rice paper and deep fried...
J Smith Tempeh is nothing like the decadent, delicious and actually nutritious Italian nougat you are talking about. Tempeh is super nutritious in a different way. I will try it! Buon Appetito!
I am Indonesian, seeing this video make me feel so proud that foreign people also like tempe. As I know that tempe is one of the best probiotic food and it's very cheap sold here. Regards from Indonesia 😊😊
Thank you for such a complete and we'll explained method for making tempeh! And... I am sooo happy to discover the traditional, plastic free method with the banana leaves!
Thank you so much for this video! It's so clear and thoughtfully put together :) I've been following you for a while and I searched for okara tempeh recipes and up you popped being useful again! Also, I am half Mauritian and I love that I can make some of my family's recipes vegan, it's fantastic! Please keep doing what you're doing :)
This video is so peaceful to watch!! Deff gonna try to make it sometime. I ate tempe in Indonenia and it was the best thing ever, but in the netherlands it really tastes different and not that good.... so will try this recipe!
I LOVE YOU! Thank you for this video! I'm in the UK and it is impossible to find non soy tempeh and you have given me the confidence to make my own! I love chickpea tempeh and mung bean tempeh so I will start with those first :)
Love how informative your tutorial is, taking us through the background stories and tips. Will be coming to your channel for inspirations in the kitchen! ♥️
Just as others have stated your explanation, the video and the printed info on your posted link are clear, helpful, and your voice is beautifully soothing. Thank you for your generousity to share this vital information as I had no idea how straigh forward the process is as you have elegantly descirbed it. My best wishes to you. You are a good soul. :)
I was curious about tempeh. Thanks for this wonderful video. I'm not vegan but I do love veggies and tofu and I'm always looking for new ways to enjoy them!😁
Your video is clear, high quality. Your voice is calm and you treat your subject direct to the point without fuss... Makes me want to eat more tempeh! ;)And I'll try to do my own. Thanks!!! Peace!
I tried it two ways, with the bags and with the box. I had some black spots, but that's because I left them a little too long because I expected my mold to be as thick as yours. This is so fresh and delicious, no bitterness at all. Thanks so much for this informative video.
When going to the farmer's market, we always on the look out for tempehs with white spores. This is actually a guarantee that the tempeh will be good, just like how the ones in the video turned out.
very happy been see u could made a tempeh, btw i'm the produsen of tempeh too in Indonesia. thanks for making this video. i'm very happy that this food could be famous in abroad. hope u'll be never bored to make this Tempeh.
Yeay, food of my hometown 😆 I remember when I was in high school the teacher of home-industry class gave us task to make tempe or tahu (tofu). I decided to make tempe, (with the help of my mom of course, LOL). You are good in making this stuff. Thank you for the video 😊
I'm so glad to have found this recipe and channel ! I've wanted to make tempeh for a long time but most of the recipes are either too complicated/time consuming or 'fiddly'. Thank you for explaining in a clear and simple way, I am definately going to do this. Also I make soy milk and try to use all the okara in various ways, i didn 't think it could be used for this purpose - what a useful bean soy is ! so many ways to use it. And I will be trying chick peas as well. I've subbed and signed up for your newsletter/recipes. Thank you very much.
Thank you for the detailed instructions! I just started two batches, one soy bean only and one soy and chick peas mixed. I've been meaning to get some starter for a while now, but, well, I was in a hurry so some bits of store-bought tempeh torn up and mixed in will just have to do. Hey, the original tempeh got it's mycelles from banana leaves, so why not? Now, knock on wood and everything and let's see how it turns out!
Oh, wow. This is a very informative video, thank you so much for it! I've been thinking of trying tempeh, as I've been vegan for 6 years and never eaten it before and have heard of it from people online in recent years, but I did not know it's made from mold! I'm allergic to mold, such as common household molds, but I don't know if that means I would also be allergic to this specific strain of (edible) mold. I guess I would just have to try it to find out. Nonetheless, it would have been very bad and unexpected if I tried out tempeh from a restaurant or store only to break out in a rash! Great quality video with a very informative voice-over. Thank you so much! This seems like a very nice channel and I'm now a new subscriber to you. :)

Hi, how do you cook the tempeh - how long do you need to fry it for example, and up to what temperature to make it safe to eat?
Mark Benhill Well, if that's not racist and stereotypical, I don't know what is.
As a native Indonesian, I have to say you made a perfect tempeh and explained it clearly.
For people who haven't eaten tempeh, I recommend you to try this because the taste is literally just like soy bean. The mold doesn't give any taste at all. Oh, if you don't want to cook tempeh right away, don't forget to store it in the fridge at least for 3-5 days.
Nao Where to get tempeh mold in Indonesia? How do you call the mold in Indonesia language?
we used to call it "yeast". all the traditional markets has it.
its not easy to find ragi tempeh every asian store , i think this is the simple way that you can make

Im not even vegetarian but this video is sooo relaxing with her soft voice and background guitar Ive watched it like 100 times
Wow! Thank you for your lovely comment. We love you so much! 😃💐💖
yes your are right
Im indonesian, so to see her cook tempeh with a banana leaf made me feel warm and nostalgic :D
Glad we could make you feel close to home for a bit. We know how this feels like. Thank you for commenting. (✿◕‿◕✿)
i live in Florida and i have banana tree in my back yard but it has never had banana's, i guess its a banana tree it looks like one, will it that work?
maybe it`s False Banana tree, it cant produce it fruit. African ussualy just eat the skin of that trees.
@@magiccheeseball yes it will work. I've used spinach, cabbage and mustard greens, they all work just fine as long as the leaves are perforated with a needle 1/2 inch apart before placing the leaves down ready to be covered with inoculated soy beans or other substrate, such as ground peanut, lupins etc.
@@magiccheeseball banana is not tree but its like tree in term of taking care.

Tempe is also good for non-vegan (basically for everybody), one of the best source of high protein beside meat,, try it guys, its delish
Yep very healthy food!

that's eating tempe in the OG Javanese way ;-)
😀😀😀😀😀😀 jd inget d kampung ,tp org LN g tahu sambel trasi .....,Indonesia's food a specially from jawa ..
I had no idea tempeh is an Indonesian food. Very cool! I'm starting to notice that many eastern countries eat natural and healthy foods unlike in western countries.
Thank you so much for this amazing vegan/vegetarian recipe. I can't wait to try it. :-)
It's daily food here. Main protein intake for many Indonesians.
I'm and Indonesian who is now living aboard. I had no idea on how to make Tempe until I watched your video. Thank you! I will try make tempe this weekend
I love tempeh. Especially pan-fried. Hands down one of the best foods in the world.
as native indonesia your tempe is PERFECT !
Huh! I didn't know tempeh was fermented, indonesian, and... I was vegan for 7 years. Mind-blowing! Great video!
I absolutely LOVED this video. I had no idea I could make this at home. My local whole food store moved to a larger space and their tempeh actually doubled in price.

Oh my gosh, I didn't know there was mold!! So interesting and awesome.
Haha, the mould is actually tasty! lol Although the tempeh do need to be thoroughly cooked to deactivate the mould before consuming it.
So the mood is what holds it together and actually makes it. I never thought mold would ever be edible in anyway.
The white surface of a Brie cheese is mold as are all the blue spots in blue cheese.
What do you think yeast is? Lots of fermented food are edible mould
Anne Fricker I think it's awesome though

You could use the liquid as aquafaba only in recipes that call for aquafaba + vinegar (in the same amount as in the liquid here). I don't really know how much of the vinegar is in this liquid, so I tend to just toss this one out. :)
As an egg binder, not for when you need eggs as a part of the taste
My dad used to make homemade Tempeh for me all the time before he passed away. I am part Indonesian, and LOVE Tempeh. Love your method and will have to try it. Thank you!
I miss tempeh sooo much since I can't find it in Japan, my friend actually succeeded in making them but she sells it so expensive :( I love tempeh very much and never miss a chance to eat them when I'm back to Indonesia for holiday. Now I think I will try to make it myself, I'm very grateful for the recipe :) Thank you so much!
Where can I buy the powdered mold that you added in?
Thank you for this. The instructions were clear. I just finished and cooked my own tempeh, and it's so much better than the store bought version. It didn't have the same bitterness and funkiness that I dislike in regular store-bought tempeh. I used chickpeas since they're the only legumes I had on hand. It turned out slightly mushroom and, once pan-fried, really juicy, and even meaty since I cooked the beans really tender.
The tempeh starter cost was intimidating for me at first, but for very little, you can make tons of tempeh. It ends up being much, much cheaper than buying tempeh from the store.
Highly, highly recommend this to everyone. Thank you again, for making a great quality video on the methodology, it made it much less intimidating/more accessible.
amazing .. i am originally from Indonesia and been eating tempe in my life but never make on my own. I want to try this, especially if i don't have to dehull ..Thank you for sharing this!
My pleasure! I'm glad the video is helping. Let us know how it turns out if you try it. :)
Thank you so much dear. With your guidance and failed attempts before, you have helped me make successful tempeh…
My best present for Mother’s Day.
HAPPY Mother’s DAY to you if you are a mother and may you be blessed with good health and long life.🌸🐬🌸🐬
I like her voice. So soothing
Thank you. ❤
Teenuja really observes and thinks about what she is seeing. She seems to have a good science background, too. Her variety of tips allow us to save time (No need to hull the beans; add vinegar near end of cooking; no-fuss ways to provide incubating heat). She completely illustrates what she is doing without adding distracting chatter.
Nutritionally: Allowing the hulls to remain does increase the nutrients. And she points out that the tempeh culture eats up some of the gas-producing substances in beans (YAY for this!!)
Adding extra ingredients (salt, fats, sugars) when cooking beans and grains can slow down water absorption and increase cooking time. So, as Teenaja says, add the vinegar near the end of cooking.
Fascinating. I had no idea tempeh was made that way.
The tempe made from the tofu left over is called "Tempe Gembos" here in Java which means "soft/mushy tempe". It's not packed like normal tempeh and taste more like a bread.
Can you explain more (4 years later) I am thinking could i mix the tofu left over with some of the cooked soy beans for the tofu?
such an easy to follow recipe. by such a beautiful and amazing voiced woman
Thank you for the nice comment. ❤(◕‿◕✿)

yea....nowday i stumble many video with robot voice....somehow it became iritating...i really appriciate this video.
So true! Your voice is heavenly. Thank you for this.
Agree! I normally set my videos on 2x the speed but her voice was so soothing as start my morning with tea. Delightful 💖
Thank you for mentioning the black spots being ok to eat. I had tried making my own a few years ago and thought I hadn't kept things clean enough. I'm going to try again soon!
I've been making my own soymilk at home so I am excited to learn that you can use the leftover pulp to make tempeh! I'm going to have to give this a try!
This video just made my day. I love the taste of tempeh but store bought is too hard. This is perfect! Thanks.
your video was incredibly calming and relaxing to watch. I'd watch it again just to destress 😊👍
xddd but u r right is so relaxing
Indeed...
I've made this recipe twice now and my Mom said it was the best Tempeh she's ever had and I'm from Indonesia. Thank you for such a great video!
dip them in a solution of water, garlic and salt. then fry them until they're brown and crisp. the thinner the slices are, the crispier. my best childhood junk food ever lololol
We also love tempeh when it's crispy. Yummy! Thank you for commenting.
Junkfood?
Tempeh is not a junkfood. It's very nutrious, if you fried them then yes it will be high in calories but still it is not a junkfood.
anything deep fried qualifies as junk tbh... McDonalds burguers are also very nutritious btw.
More likely people who needed to feed their family and couldn't afford to throw out food. We take for granted how cheap and easy it is to buy a bag of beans, but when you grow them and shuck them yourself you appreciate their worth.
OMG, this is so easy to make. I love grilled marinated tempeh, after seeing this I am going to save on so much for the tempeh I eat. Thank you so much, YOU ARE AMAZING!
Bless your heart! The instructions on the tempeh starter is SO CONFUSING. your way=easier.
I love love tempeh and now I will attempt to do it myself. Where I used to grow up in a big family protein were expensive ..bear in mind this was 1960's Singapore..so tempeh was a no brainer alternative for us. We ate it in rendang in sambals and even as a crispy fried snacks since potato chips was a rare treat for us kids.I am by no means a vegetarian but tempeh always hold a special place in my heart even after 40 years of living overseas. Actually there is a small area named Kampung Tempeh in Singapore..Kampung is a malay word for village..hence Tempeh Village. Of course it was named so due to the fact that tempeh was made fresh there. I am so excited that you showed us how to make tempeh in an easy to follow recipe. Thank you!
The banana leaf tempeh my goodness! Looks so incredible.
I can’t wait to try this, I love that you gave a environmentally friendly option thanks you!!
Thank you so much for this recipe. I make your tempeh all the time now. I just made some with haricot beens, it is very nice.
Thank you for this lovely feedback Josie. I am glad that this has turned out to be a regular thing for you. ✌(◕‿-)✌
Thank you so much for this clear explanation. Tempeh keeps intestine healthy. I searched and discovered that you can it eat it raw or cooked. The raw keeps the live cultures act like yogurt and balances the digestive system. I will definitely try with banana leaves and glass containers, so easy and inexpensive way to make tempeh. 😌🙏
i love the texture of tempeh lol. thank you indonesian people for discovering this amazing food tempeh is popular in malaysia too 😂😂😂
Littlegirl Jia indonesia too
in indonesia there are a few kind of tempeh,my favourite tempeh is the peanut tempeh.it's a bit darker.
,,
This was fascinating to watch. I appreciate how thorough you are and all the information you share, as well as the history. Does homemade tempeh taste similar to store bought? Is it noticeably different? Thank you. I enjoyed your video.
Westerners used to learn to make tempeh coming to Indonesia, but now they can learn to make tempeh from youtube. Thank you very much for making tempeh one of the world's favorite foods.
Wow, this video is really great!
usually in Indonesia we marinade tempe with garlic and salt before frying, so it will be tastier :)
Andina Dwi Prasetyanti oh yeahh I know what you mean. It's really important. I like to cut them thin so they're crispy and nice :D
Would you share with us how you marinate the Tempeh with salt and garlic?
Tggal di mauritius juga??
Enak banget itu mbak :D
salt? nah royco is better.... :D
I loved this. I lived in Singapore for 26 years and tempeh was a favourite in rojak. After moving to India I never got to eat this. After lockdown I will get the starter and try this. Thanks a ton.
gir vis
easy to order from Europe with the address on line she has posted.
Watching this while munching some tempeh. Really, it is one of the Indonesian food that I missed dearly during my time traveling abroad. Tempeh chips and deep-fried tempeh really get your palates going for snack time. Thanks for the recipe ^^
super informative with great knowledge of food science. One of the best food video combined with cooking and science! I like it so much. Thanks for your work.
You make very beautiful tempe! I reccomend marinating in garlic and salt (I usually just go with salt though) and deep frying it instead of just pan frying it. If you slice it thinly you get crispy goodness.
I sometimes forget that banana trees aren't common in there. You have to buy them in a store... Meanwhile if I need some (usually to make pepes or buras and stuff like that) I just... pick some in my yard 😂
Quadreye is so done adding coriander beside garlic n salt makes it better
Quadreye is so done marinate garlic and salt .. and bit pepper or bit butter
Quadreye is so done yeaaayyy indonesian
Hi may I know when to marinate it with garlic and salt?
@@rudyelsierra8729 oh yeah, coriander! Definitely better :9
After I watched your video, I feel so grateful I live in Indonesia. For three tempes that you made, I only need to pay for $1 here. Tempe is best if you deep fried it with only salt and eat it with rice and sambal (Chili sauce) or you can make batter with flour, salt, garlic powder, and leek. Dip the tempe and deep fried it. It taste nice
This was so interesting. I've never seen or heard about Tempeh before.
In appearance it looks very much like Turrón which is made from peanuts, walnuts or almonds and a mixture of egg whites and sugar.
J Smith i also never heard of it, there's no tempeh here in the philippines, there is what we call turon, slice banana mixed with brown sugar and wrapped in rice paper and deep fried...
That sounds delicious! :P
J Smith Tempeh is nothing like the decadent, delicious and actually nutritious Italian nougat you are talking about. Tempeh is super nutritious in a different way. I will try it! Buon Appetito!
I congratulate you on how your presented - such clarity and thoroughness. You would be a great teacher.
This is my favorite food, I cooked it with a seasoned flour coated then deep fried, sooo yummy 🤤
I am Indonesian, seeing this video make me feel so proud that foreign people also like tempe. As I know that tempe is one of the best probiotic food and it's very cheap sold here. Regards from Indonesia 😊😊
I wasn't sure how easy it would be to make tempeh, but now this has me thinking I need to try it at home! Thanks!
Thank you for such a complete and we'll explained method for making tempeh! And... I am sooo happy to discover the traditional, plastic free method with the banana leaves!
We are having a shortage here in Phoenix AZ and I haven't been able to find it anywhere. Going to try this for my family. Thanks for the video.
Amazing! I want to try and make some!
I love tempeh but it's nice to know you can make it with other beans. Great video!!
Yes, it works well with other beans too. Thank you for your comment. ❤
What beans?
Soy Bean its better and more nutritious... LOL
Sometime they mix soybean with corn too.
@@shannenlibres2365 you can make it with azuki bean and jack bean too
Thank you so much for this video! It's so clear and thoughtfully put together :) I've been following you for a while and I searched for okara tempeh recipes and up you popped being useful again! Also, I am half Mauritian and I love that I can make some of my family's recipes vegan, it's fantastic! Please keep doing what you're doing :)
This video is so peaceful to watch!! Deff gonna try to make it sometime. I ate tempe in Indonenia and it was the best thing ever, but in the netherlands it really tastes different and not that good.... so will try this recipe!
Well done! Your explanations were very clear.
I could listen to your voice for hours! So calming!
Thank you for the love. I really enjoy narrating these videos. (✿◠‿◠)
I LOVE YOU! Thank you for this video! I'm in the UK and it is impossible to find non soy tempeh and you have given me the confidence to make my own! I love chickpea tempeh and mung bean tempeh so I will start with those first :)
Love how informative your tutorial is, taking us through the background stories and tips. Will be coming to your channel for inspirations in the kitchen! ♥️
Just as others have stated your explanation, the video and the printed info on your posted link are clear, helpful, and your voice is beautifully soothing. Thank you for your generousity to share this vital information as I had no idea how straigh forward the process is as you have elegantly descirbed it. My best wishes to you. You are a good soul. :)
I have never herd of tempeh. After watching your video a decided tempeh is a must to try. Thank you.
My pleasure. It is definitely a must try. Thank you for commenting. \(✿◠‿◠)/
Fantastic. Answered every question I had!😊
I was curious about tempeh. Thanks for this wonderful video. I'm not vegan but I do love veggies and tofu and I'm always looking for new ways to enjoy them!😁
Your video is clear, high quality. Your voice is calm and you treat your subject direct to the point without fuss... Makes me want to eat more tempeh! ;)And I'll try to do my own. Thanks!!! Peace!
I tried it two ways, with the bags and with the box. I had some black spots, but that's because I left them a little too long because I expected my mold to be as thick as yours. This is so fresh and delicious, no bitterness at all. Thanks so much for this informative video.
My girl-Friend form Indonesian she told me about Tampe, it looks so good i really want to try😋
When going to the farmer's market, we always on the look out for tempehs with white spores. This is actually a guarantee that the tempeh will be good, just like how the ones in the video turned out.
very happy been see u could made a tempeh, btw i'm the produsen of tempeh too in Indonesia. thanks for making this video. i'm very happy that this food could be famous in abroad. hope u'll be never bored to make this Tempeh.
I'm vegetarian, and love tempeh so much after ate it at first time.😍😍
Thank you for sharing how to make tempeh.😘😘
I got my starter in the mail just today. Can't wait!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You are very nicely spoken.This is very beautifully explained,making it my most favorable tempeh . l love it love it, love it, beautiful lady .
Aw thank you for your lovely comment. Glad the video was helpful. ❤
Totally agree. Nice voice n diction.
Excellent video! I'm ready to give it a go!
Also, I can't understand why anyone would give this excellent video a thumbs down. Gee, some people.....
I'm very intrigued and would love to see a video on tempeh made with the other legumes you mentioned. Thank you for posting 😊
You're welcome. Thank you for commenting. ( ＾◡＾)っ
I love watching your videos! You use common sense, give an easy option, and easy listening to! Thank you :)
Yeay, food of my hometown 😆 I remember when I was in high school the teacher of home-industry class gave us task to make tempe or tahu (tofu). I decided to make tempe, (with the help of my mom of course, LOL). You are good in making this stuff. Thank you for the video 😊
I'm so glad to have found this recipe and channel ! I've wanted to make tempeh for a long time but most of the recipes are either too complicated/time consuming or 'fiddly'. Thank you for explaining in a clear and simple way, I am definately going to do this.
Also I make soy milk and try to use all the okara in various ways, i didn 't think it could be used for this purpose - what a useful bean soy is ! so many ways to use it.
And I will be trying chick peas as well.
I've subbed and signed up for your newsletter/recipes.
Thank you very much.
Using the cooled down; boiled soy bean water to feed plants is such an enlightening detail!
LadyV Wow; really!? Does this beat out tap-water? Going to have to look into this. Thanks!
Thank you for the detailed instructions! I just started two batches, one soy bean only and one soy and chick peas mixed. I've been meaning to get some starter for a while now, but, well, I was in a hurry so some bits of store-bought tempeh torn up and mixed in will just have to do. Hey, the original tempeh got it's mycelles from banana leaves, so why not?
Now, knock on wood and everything and let's see how it turns out!
Oh, wow. This is a very informative video, thank you so much for it! I've been thinking of trying tempeh, as I've been vegan for 6 years and never eaten it before and have heard of it from people online in recent years, but I did not know it's made from mold! I'm allergic to mold, such as common household molds, but I don't know if that means I would also be allergic to this specific strain of (edible) mold. I guess I would just have to try it to find out.
Nonetheless, it would have been very bad and unexpected if I tried out tempeh from a restaurant or store only to break out in a rash! Great quality video with a very informative voice-over. Thank you so much! This seems like a very nice channel and I'm now a new subscriber to you. :)
I've been to Indonesia where I tasted tempeh many years ago. Thank you for sharing this recepi. ❤ from the Philippines.
Love your videos. The music in this one is fantastic. So glad I found your channel!! Thank YOU!!
Thank you very much!!! You are the first to do it with feuilles de bananiers
I love tempeh in my country Indonesia is A number One food and Tofu so health and so yummy.thank you to making tempeh in your video.Lovely😊
Lovely video with easily to follow instructions and nice historical reference at the end
