Crumbly tempeh?

​I love it when you present your tempeh making problems. If I can suggest a solution, it helps everyone. This weeks most interesting query was from Allie, who was loving the taste of her homemade tempeh but was worried that it crumbled instead of slicing neatly. Here's the answer!

The meal on the left is  Sticky Tempeh made with  chickpea and sunflower seed tempeh, the recipe is on page 38 in the Tempeh: food for the future e book and you can see the tempeh process here: www.mrtempeh.com.au/whats-going-on-in-your-kitchen
​
I am really pleased to see so many people trying new things in their kitchens. It gives us great control over the quality and availability of food stuffs when we embrace 'make your own.'  Food security is becoming a world wide issue. Affordable plant based proteins offer a sustainable solution, especially when we can store beans and legumes with out refrigeration for long periods of time, and create a variety of easily digestible, high protein, vegan tempehs and tofu. 
There are concerns about protein content in diets that replace meat with legume products. While the protein content of soy tempeh is less than chicken and pork, it is the same as beef but with NO FAT. The advantage of eating tempeh is that the protein is more available to absorption in the gut due to the fermentation process. Lupin tempeh contains protein in higher levels than meat. You may need to supplement your diet with B12 if your protein is totally plant based.

​I am pleased to see everyone starting to return to a more 'normal' way of life and hope that we all stay alert, safe and well, 
​Happy tempeh making!

Tempeh starter: Tempeh was recognised by the government of Indonesia as a national cultural heritage in October 2017 and  will be proposed as a Unesco intangible cultural heritage in 2021. The of making rhizopus oligosporus (tempeh starter) has been a closely guarded cultural secret. Please note: there is no production of rhizopus oligosporus in Australia.
