..(dalam Bahasa Indonesia setelah yg inggris kacau ini ya)..
A must to have in almost every meal in Indonesia (in particular, Java), tempeh is like cheese for French people. In a way, it is the Javanese vegan cheese. To make tempeh, we grow mould of Rhizopus oligosporus or Rhizopus oryzae on cooked soy beans for a couple day. Rich in protein, tempeh can be eaten raw for its probiotic benefits, especially when it's made in a good hygienic way.
Is it difficult to make tempeh? Hmm.. yes and no. It is easy in a warm and moist place, but not that simple in my dry and cold (approx. 30-40% humidity, 25-26Β°C) air-con'ed apartment. Also, I noticed that I have to pay attention on different treatment needed for making tempeh in plastic bags and in moulds/cups, to ensure the best growing condition for the mould to grow.
OK, enough for now, it's getting too long. Anyway, there will be another new level in my tempeh journey. Stay tuned π

Cumaa.. boleh dibilang ini nih level baru dalam pembuatan tempe. Belajar dari Ibu Jessica Halim, bahwa kita bisa bikin tempe dengan diwadah2in gini. Bisa kontak beliau di IGnya kalau pengen belajar juga.
Nah tempe ini ada rasa "manis" dan tidak getir/pahit sama sekali. Dina Widyasanti yg minggu lalu cicip, reaksi spontan bilang: "kok enak? ndak berasa kedelai". Dan kami nikmati jadi sandwich "keju" dengan roti baguette multigraines La Marquise yg dioles butter salted... alamaak.. huweeenaaakk!!
Sekian.
