Tempeh or tempe ( / ˈ t ɛ m p eɪ / ; Javanese : ꦠꦺꦩ꧀ꦥꦺ , romanized: témpé , Javanese pronunciation: [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.

Tempeh packaged in perforated polyethylene bags is usually repacked inside another labeled, non-perforated bag for distribution, sale and easier labeling. If the tempeh is packaged in only one perforated bag, the label must be directly attached to the perforated surface with the use of government food contact approved adhesive .

The odor of good tempeh should be pleasant, clean, subtly sweet or resemble the aroma of mushrooms. The entire tempeh should lift as a single, cohesive cake without crumbling when shaken gently. Unfinished tempeh has beans that are bound together loosely by a sparse white mycelium, hence it crumbles easily.

A form of tempeh based on barley and oats instead of soy was developed by scientists at the Swedish Department of Food Science in 2008. It can be produced in climatic regions where it is not possible to grow soybeans. The simplest way to cook tempeh is by frying . It is both deep-fried and stir-fried. However, there are several cooking methods and recipe variations. Among others are: Perhaps
640-568: A part of royal cuisine, but rather a staple food of the lower classes. Indonesian historian, Ong Hok Ham , suggests that tempeh might have been produced as a byproduct of tahu , the Indonesian word for tofu . He argued that the two food products are made of the same ingredient and that genetically speaking, soybeans are from China, though the specific variety was never mentioned. Food journalist , Andreas Maryoto. supported this idea, saying that tempeh might have been accidentally produced as
720-456: A result of the fermentation process. In particular, the oligosaccharides associated with flatulence and indigestion are greatly reduced by the Rhizopus culture. In traditional tempeh-making shops, the starter culture often contains bacteria that produce vitamins such as B 12 (though it is uncertain whether this B 12 is always present and bioavailable ). In western countries, it

Soon afterwards, santri Luci, who previously met Amongrogo, arrived at Wonomarto. Ki Luci told Ki Bayi and his family the summary of Amongrogo's journey and his whereabout. Within Amongrogo's journey, he kept having

Sometimes when tempeh is diced and left, it will create white feathery fluff which bonds the cut—this is the Rhizopus mold still growing—this is normal and perfectly edible. The most common and widely known tempeh

Later, the temperature of the beans will naturally rise and rapid mold growth happens for around 4 hours. As mold growth declines, the soybeans should be bound into a solid mass by the mycelium. In good tempeh, the beans are knitted together by a mat of white mycelium . Typically, tempeh

There are two types of oncom : a bright red-orange kind with Neurospora sitophila , and a black one with the same fungi as tempeh uses. Tempeh can also be differentiated according to its degrees of maturity (i.e. the mycelium's growth/age). Tempe mondhol is a tempeh that

The tempeh is first braised in a mixture of coconut water, palm sugar , and spices including coriander seeds, shallots, galangal, and bay leaves, and then briefly deep-fried. The result is a moist, sweet and spicy, dark-colored tempeh. Tofu may also be used, yielding tahu bacem . This variation
1280-428: Is a staple source of protein. Like tofu , tempeh is made from soybeans, but it is a whole-soybean product with different nutritional characteristics and textural qualities. Tempeh's fermentation process and its retention of the whole bean give it a higher content of protein , dietary fiber , and vitamins . It has a firm texture and an earthy flavor , which becomes more pronounced as it ages. The term tempe

The raw tempeh is cut into small sticks and thoroughly deep-fried until no longer moist, and then mixed with palm sugar, chili pepper or other spices, or with sweet soy sauce .

Extended fermentation time results in an increase in pH and undesirable color darkening in the tempeh. During the fermentation process, optimal time of fermentation, temperature, oxygen, humidity, and pH levels are required to encourage the growth of the Rhizopus mold, while discouraging

Names include tempe semangit ('stinky tempeh') in Java , hampir busuk ('almost rotten') tempeh or tempe kemarin ('yesterday tempeh').

However, traditionally other ingredients such as ampas tahu (tofu dregs/ okara ), ampas kelapa (coconut dregs) and peanuts may be used in a fashion similar to the tempeh-making process, although perhaps using different fungi or attracting other microbes like kara benguk or kara pedhang , which can be toxic if not prepared correctly. A related product to tempeh

Studies of fortifying tempeh with vitamin B12 through fermentation using microorganisms indicate that lactic acid bacteria and propionic acid bacteria produce vitamin B12. In

Sometimes tempeh is left to ferment further, creating more pungently varieties: tempe wayu (day-old tempeh), i.e. when the tempeh starts to age; tempe semangit (a few-days old tempeh), i.e. when the tempeh becomes yellowish, a bit slimy, and the smell becomes more potent; and tempe bosok (lit. 'rotten tempeh'), when

When thin-sliced and deep-fried in oil, tempeh obtains a crisp golden crust while maintaining

The tempeh is first dipped in spiced flour before quickly frying in very hot oil, resulting in a product that is cooked on the outside, but raw or only partially so on the inside. It has a limp, soft texture compared to the more common, crisp, fully fried tempeh. Also known as kering tempe (lit: 'dry tempeh'), or sambal goreng tempe if mixed with plenty of hot and spicy sambal chili pepper sauce. It

Tempeh later began to be made with white soybeans, leading to the decreased use of its native black variety. Black soybeans have been replaced by other commodity plants since.

Famously these variant tempeh are found in Malang and Purwokerto in the 1960s, because Malang is located in a cool plateau , and tempeh made with Rhizopus oligosporus resulted in less compact and more alcoholic-smelling tempeh, while Rhizopus arrhizus required lower optimum temperature which made it more ideal. However

The oligosaccharides , stachyose , raffinose and sucrose , can constitute up to 50% of the soluble materials lost.

In practical terms, this means that 100 g dry soybeans (7-9% moisture content) will yield about 170 to 210 g fresh tempeh (61-64% moisture content). Once tempeh is produced, it is divided into three categories based on its quality: good, unfinished, and inedible. Good tempeh includes beans that are bound into

The pH level should be kept around 3-5 by adding a mild acidulant such as vinegar , lactic acid , or acetic acid , thereby favoring mold growth and restricting the growth of spoilage microorganisms.
