Tempeh

Tempeh

Everyday

Tempeh is a traditional Indonesian food made from fermented soybeans, forming a firm, chewy cake. The fermentation process not only binds the soybeans together but also enhances their digestibility and nutritional value. Tempeh is a complete protein source, rich in fiber, and offers a slightly nutty flavor that readily absorbs marinades and sauces. Its firm texture makes it suitable for grilling, stir-fries, and as a meat substitute in various dishes.
