    I wanted to make my own tempeh for so long but I was so intimidated by all the equipment suggested for making it at home. Also, when I looked closely into making it, my other big concern was all the plastic used.
    I decided to give it another try using a wood box and glass containers to make this homemade soy-free tempeh, and I’m so glad I did. Now I’m confident to share with you how making tempeh at home can be easy--plus you can make it with any kind of beans, seeds, and grains!
    I hope you try making it too!

    Well if u hard to find some tempe starter, u can make by yourself. Just bought tempeh from asian market or indonesian market. Slice them into little pieces and make it more moldy by covering them in a bowl with saran wrap. Once u notice the mold is growing, open the plastic wrap and let it dry. After 1 day or so, when the tempeh is really dry, u can put them in the food processor and mix them with some rice flour. Sieve it into a good powder. Now u can use it to make tempe in the future.

    I want to thank you because thanks to you I can make tempeh, after several failures and therefore waste. In fact, as long as I did it with nylon bags, even if they were perforated and with less humidity, everything went bad. Since I've been doing it in glass containers and without wasting time making the legumes less moist, as well as not using plastic, I've never failed again. It doesn't come very compact, it tends to lose a few pieces when cut, but the mold is well formed both inside and out and tempeh, with any legume, is delicious! So many thanks for your sharing. ❤

    One of the containers got blackish mold. Just a very light coating over some of the white. I think maybe it was closer to the lightbulb although I rotated them. I guess I don't need an incubator if my house is warm enough? And is the mold I talked about natural if fermented a few hours too long?

Some go full crispy but traditionally when using batter you want it to be crispy on the outside(batter) and half cooked on the inside(steamed from the frying). Coriander seeds is key guys.

    I love black bean tempeh. Mine never looks like yours though. I culture it with a heating pad in an incubator. Ive never tried doing it at room temperature because I'm always afraid it will not work.

      I use a breathable box to ferment and the moisture dries out to be just right during the process. However, if I have too much liquid, the mold can't grow in the bottom. I failed a few times before I learned about it.

      @PrintFarmer Před 4 lety +33

      The fungus used in tempeh (rhizopus oligosporus) will outcompete harmful molds and bacteria. Use cultures specifically for tempeh and you’ll be fine. The white binder between the beans is the fungi’s mycelia, which will be clean. If you are concerned about surface contamination, you can cut off and discard the surfaces of the block and just eat the inner mycelia/beans.

    But we had some spots of bad mold in our tempeh that we had to pick out before preparing it. Yours looked so clean, how do you make sure no bad mold comes in?
    And if you have any recipe ideas on how to eat tempeh we would love a video about that ;)

    What is the name of the culture you used ?
    What if you don't have a breathable box?
    It looks like 6 days is the magic number for the tempeh to be completely covered in mold.
    How long will this last in the fridge?
    Can it be frozen once completed?

    something i cannot understand is how moist the beans are -- usually in every guide they ask to dry them very consistently
    also your fermentation times are very long, yet you manage to produce consistent tempeh without apparent microbial growth... where did you learn of such a method?
    also about the "firmness" in fridge, how did you learn about it?
