So what is Tempeh?
Tempeh was originated from my home country, Indonesia and it is a widely celebrated staple in Indonesian’s everyday diet.
Tempeh is the world’s richest plant-based source of vitamin B12 and shares the same high protein content as beef. It’s also highly digestible compared to other soy and bean products because the fermentation process enables nutrients to become more soluble (in other words, it gives you all the good stuff without the gas). In addition, it’s low in saturated fat, has no cholesterol, and contains fiber, iron, and all eight essential amino acids (the building blocks of protein).
Traditional tempeh is made from soybeans that have undergone fermentation, which is a process in which carbohydrates are broken down by bacteria called Rhizopus. However, if you are soy intolerant, you can also experiment with variety of other beans such as black beans, buckwheat, chickpeas, barley etc.
Tempeh has a firm texture and nutty yet earthy taste. The mild natural flavor of tempeh itself means it can easily takes on the flavors of whatever it’s cooked with and can be marinated and seasoned to help easily boost the flavor. It’s often sautéed, roasted, baked, steamed, or grilled and swapped in for meat or other protein foods as part of a well-rounded, meatless meal.
