Tempeh is Indonesian traditional foods, and you may find this food everywhere, sold by the big restaurants to street vendors.


Some people eat Tempeh as a snack. Good snacks while drink a cup of tea or coffee in the afternoon.


In fact, Tempeh is cooked soybeans which are bonded by fermented process. Tempeh looks like a cake form as the end result of fermentation.


Fermentation process took several days, hence make Tempeh texture (grainy) and flavor (nutty and earthy) are different than Tofu.

  6. When I see this it makes me think of one of my favorite K-dramas where the butler who had always fed his family meager meals of tofu and they could hardly stand it. But he ends up being the rich person who has to take in the rich people he worked for. Of course, they didn't want to eat Tofu either, but of course, he stressed that's how he had survived. Oh, and I have often wondered just how good stinky Tofu is, too.
