Preparare il tempeh in casa è un processo che richiede tempo e attenzione, ma il risultato è molto gratificante.
Ingredients
- Dried soybeans500 g
- Apple cider vinegar20 ml
- Tempeh starter (Rhizopus oligosporus)5 g
Procedure
0. Place the soybeans in a large bowl and cover with plenty of water. Let them soak for at least 8-12 hours or overnight.
1. After soaking, drain and rinse the beans. Rub the beans between your hands to remove the skins. This may take a little while, but is important for fermentation. Alternatively, you can also use a blender and roughly chop them.
2. Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add the soybeans and cook for about 30 minutes, until they are tender but not mushy. Drain the beans and let them cool for a few minutes.
3. Dry the beans as much as possible. You can use a clean cotton cloth to absorb any excess moisture. Transfer the beans to a bowl and add the vinegar. Mix well. Add the tempeh starter and mix again, making sure it is evenly distributed among the beans.
4. Divide the beans into perforated plastic bags (you can make small holes with a toothpick) or aluminum foil with holes. Spread the beans in an even layer about 1-2 cm thick. Seal the bags or wrap the aluminum foil so that the beans are well compacted.
5. Place the bags in a warm place at a constant temperature of about 86-90°F. You can use an incubator, a dehydrator, or an oven with the light on. Let it ferment for 24-48 hours. During this time, the beans should develop a white mycelium that binds them together. When the tempeh is firm and covered in white mycelium, it is ready.
6. Once the tempeh is ready, you can store it in the refrigerator for about a week or freeze it for later use.
7. Temperature is crucial for fermentation. Make sure to maintain a constant temperature of 30-32°C. If the tempeh develops an unpleasant odor or strange colors (other than white), it is best to discard it and try again.
