Tempeh is soy-based meat alternatives. It's made from whole soybeans that have been soaked till softens. Then, they're cooked, slightly fermented and shaped to a firm patty or blocks. And actually tempeh also can be made with blackbean, black-eyed peas, and chickpeas. Some type of tempeh also contain grains, like brown rice, barley or millet, or seeds. Tempeh is very nutritive and contains many health promoting phytochemicals such as isoflavones and saponins. Tempeh fermentations produces natural antibiotic agents. Tempeh is a complete protein food that contains all the essential amino acids. Overall Nutrient Benefit According to a recent research analysis of the U.S. population and dietary practices within this population, U.S. adults would increase their intake of folate, vitamin K, calcium, magnesium, iron and fiber if we replaced our meat and dairy intake with soy, including tempeh. Replacing meat and dairy with tempeh and other soy products would also lower our total cholesterol intake by about 125 milligrams per day and our saturated fat by about 2.4 grams per day. These nutritional changes, in turn, would lower our risk of several chronic diseases, including cardiovascular diseases. Soy foods typically contain a wide variety of well-studied phytonutrients. In the case of fermented soy foods like tempeh these phytonutrients can become more concentrated and more bioavailable as well. Below is a list of some key phytonutrients that can be found in tempeh and other soy foods. Flavonoids and Isoflavonoids Daidzen Genistein Malonylgenistin Malonyldaidzin Phenolic Acids Caffeic acid Coumaric acid Ferulic acid Gallic acid Sinapic acid Phytoalexins Glyceollin I Glyceollin II Glyceollin III Phytosterols Beta-sitosterol Beta-stigmasterol Campestrol Proteins and Peptides Defensins Glycinin Conglycinin Lunacin Saponins Soyasaponins (group A and group B) Soyasapogenols Steps for making tempeh: - It's fine for there to be a bit of a learning curve when making tempeh. If your first batch doesn't turn out good, just try again. - Use a thermometer to verify the ongoing temperature of the tempeh during fermentation. (A meat thermometer with an alarm often used for baking and for BBQ is very useful as they will warn you if the temperature falls outside a set range.) When taking temperature readings, insert the thermometer directly into the beans, rather than testing the temperature near the beans. - If you wish to freeze the finished tempeh, steam the tempeh over boiling water for 20 minutes to cook then slice into patties and soak overnight in salt water (2 teaspoons salt to one pint water). The patties can then be patted, dried, and frozen for future use. INGREDIENTS: - 2 cups dry soy beans, hulled - 2 Tbsp. vinegar - 3/4 tsp. (1 packet) Tempeh Starter Culture INSTRUCTIONS: 1. Boil the soybeans for 1 hour to cook. 2. Discard the cooking water and dry the beans (either using a towel to pat them dry or setting over low heat in the pot to evaporate the water off the beans). It is important for the beans to be dry to the touch, as too much moisture can ruin the batch. 3. Place the beans in a dry bowl and allow the beans to cool to a lukewarm temperature (same temperature as your skin). 4. Add the vinegar and mix well. 5. Add the tempeh starter and mix well to evenly distribute the starter in the beans. 6. Place the beans in two vented containers (or quart-size plastic bags with needle-size holes poked through at 1/2-inch intervals). The beans should be layered 1 to 1-1/2 inches thick. 7. Incubate the beans at 85-91°F for 24 to 48 hours. Verify the temperature using a thermometer inserted into the beans, rather than testing the temperature next to them. 8. Check the beans after 12 hours. At this point in the process the fermentation will cause the beans to generate their own heat so you will normally need to reduce or even eliminate the external heat source. Be sure to use a thermometer to check the actual temperature. 9. After 24 hours or so, the white mycelium will start to cover the surface of the beans. Over the next few hours, the white mycelium will grow through the beans and will smell nutty. 10. After 24 to 48 hours, when the beans have become a single mass held together by the white spores, the tempeh can be refrigerated.
