Even with a pic I am still not sure what this is.

Someone is trying a wee bit hard to push their veganism.

Tempeh or tempe is a traditional Indonesian food made from fermented soybeans. It is made by a natural culturing and controlled fermentation process that binds soybeans into a cake form. A fungus, Rhizopus oligosporus or Rhizopus oryzae, is used in the fermentation process and is also known as tempeh starter.

More than you ever wanted to know.

Um, Japan has a number of their own fermented soy products, among them soy sauce and tofu. This would seem to be a no brainer.

When I’m hungry the first thing that comes to mind is fungal fermented bean cake with a peculiar cheese-like taste that takes a bit getting used to. Not a grass-fed rib-eye.

From Wikipedia. No tempeh soup for me!

I will take some miso soup, though.

I just bought some Tempeh last week at Kroger. Haven’t had it in years. Forget how I used to cook it to make it taste quite good. All recipes appreciated.

I used to order on the net all the time when we lived in the Japanese countryside . We now live in the city . Coincidentally , just yesterday , after a 6 year hiatus , I ordered 1kg of tempeh via Rakuten . Realized I missed it after all these years haha . Good stuff .

They eat tarantulas in South America but that doesn’t mean I have to 🤪

I’ve had tempe. I’d rather have a steak, seasoned with salt and pepper and nicely medium raw.

The use of tempeh reminds me of the use of anchovies to give an umami to an Asian dish.

Fermented soybeans??? Is this some conspiracy to make beets seem yummy by comparison??

My son used to live in Tempeh, when he worked for Maricopa county, and before he transferred to Halifax where it’s much colder.

While living in Tokyo, I tried various forms of natto, fermented soy beans. Never could stomach it, though it is a protein powerhouse.
