your new morning ritual

What the HECK is TEMPEH and WHY you SHOULD Eat MORE of it! ITS So good!! Thats why, but really there are loads of reason from health, good protein, versatility, and price.
Tempeh can be made in so many ways so I just wanted to talk about a few of them and give you a basic tempeh recipe to go off of.
Have you tried tepeh? What do you think?

I lived in Bali for a while, where tempeh is as ubiquitous as pasta is in the US. One thing all people do there before cooking tempeh is to steam it for 10 minutes--to prepare it for cooking and allow it to absorb flavors. Thanks for this video.

If you want some guilty snacks from tempe, batter and fry them up! Dice and fry them then saute in sweet soy. Try tempe mendoan, and you'll be a tempe convert, I think (PS, in Indonesia tempeh is everyone's food, not just vegans')

Your wife is seriously so cute, loving and supportive in the things you do! You're one lucky guy.

Tempe is sooo underrated. Like tofu's pretty big worldwide but more people need to know about tempe. Like honestly, just fried tempe on rice is all I need to be happy.

I love tempeh for a healthy quick snack: dice tempeh in small cubes, pan-fry over high heat until lightly browning, add some sliced green beans (about some weight as you used for the tempeh), keep sautéing for 2 minutes, then add a can of tomato paste and of course some soy sauce. Sauté for another two minutes and: presto. Really quick, tasty and healthy.

Also Tempeh is much, much cheaper than chicken where I am (Netherlands). Tempeh is about €5/kg, where chicken is about €15/kg.

OMG tempeh! My favourite! Out of all people, i can't believe you guys would cover it.
My favourite way of cooking it is simply fry them thick, served with rice and sambal. You can make it vegan by subbing shrimp paste with nutritional yeast, that's also a bit of family secret sauce to boost it's umami. Second favourite way is slice it thin and batter it. As for marinade i like it simple, salt, powdered broth, minced shallot and garlic, and sometimes white/black pepper. Though there are many, way too many great marinade including sweet ones (tempe bacem).

PS: You can make your own tempeh. I've done it as school project. Just make sure everything is sterile, otherwise the fungus won't grow properly.
PPS: A good rule of thumb is to not use too cold oil, cook fast, and aim for undercook for more tender and less greasy result. Overcooked tempeh tends to be too tough and hard, which is fine if it's thin and crunchy but not for thick slabs. Also good to reheat, because cold tempeh also tends to be tough.

1:14 - Tempeh is what STOPPED my hot flashes!! No joke!! I started getting hot flashes every 2 hours 24/7. A week in to that misery, research said “plant based and add 1 cup of soy a day” Luckily I was already plant based but not eating much soy. I made tempeh bacon (Facon I call it) and after eating a half a block a day, the 7th day my hot flashes stopped!!! If I get any now, I realize it’s been a couple days since I ate my soy, I eat some and they’re gone again. Any woman that’s had hot flashes, KNOWS how miserable they are and I can’t believe I can EAT my way out of them. Let food be thy medicine. No meds here, just soy. 😃😃😃💯

I didnt like tempeh first either, then i siscovered how to cook it....and also discovered ready marinaded tempeh.

I’ve have learned it’s better to steam tempeh for around 10 to 15 minutes before marinating it or cooking with it. Steaming helps get rid of the bitterness. I use my silicone microwave steamer which makes it super easy.

Asian supermarket have frozen tempeh at much better value for money, but western brands are milder.

I love tempeh enough that i'll nibble on raw pieces after chopping it.

Just with salt and batter is my version of fish and chips, top with parsley and squeeze of lemon.

And plain fried goes with everything.

Fun addition to the marinade. Prepared lapsang tea. This gets a very smokey BBQ edge. Very good making it taste like something you smoke for a while.

I have a block of tempeh so I’m going to try this in a few minutes. Question: why do so many recipes include boiling the tempeh first?

[amarantaASMR]

Omg! Thank you! Just two weeks ago I literally searched "sauce stache tempeh".... and here we are haha. Tempeh needs more attention and your recipes are always so great!

[MysticScapes]

Am I this lucky, Sauce Stache and Gaz Oakley talking about tempeh within 2 days!

[lamisticahumana]

The simple recipe for tempe is: chop that into rectangle, put that into water mix by salt and chopped garlic, and fry that into hot oils. And waited till crisp and turned yellow-brownish. Thats it, fried tempe is served

[annabrusa]

I love tempeh for richer tasting meals. It reminds me a little of mushrooms.

[jenborcic]

I've been making cheeze from fermented bulgur. Good. Fermented for 5 weeks at room temp. Keshek el Fouqara (Lebanese Bulgur Cheese)

I'd like to add that phytoestrogens are great for the libido.

[ohaia]

You can try make tempe orek, tempe bacem, tempe mendoan, gorengan, and you can make tempe chips too!, etc, in Indonesian we eat tempeh everyday.
