How to make Tempe

[blahblibidyblahblah]

are you sure you meant tablespoons? I've only ever used about ONE tablespoon to make a kilo and I'm thinking about reducing that amount.

The really messed up thing is, I live just over in Thailand, but i need to order the starter culture from the US or Europe... You're like my neighbor and there's no way to get it from Indonesia. weird world.

[apriswajaya]

@blahblibidyblahblah yes, we use 4 table spoons. You can use less, but your tempe wont be as thick as mine.

I am not surprised about your situation. I got a lot of complaints from viewers who lives in other ASEAN countries that they couldn't find the ragu in their local shops. On the other hand, the folks who lives in western countries such as the USA could find them easily in their local Asian market.

Anyways, good luck, have fun and thank you for watching.

cool i just bought my tempe starter at a cheap cost with cheap shipping for canada.i got the 30 Gr which is enough for 8+pounds tempe for 5.95$ and shipping 2 doller something.At the amout i bought i saw usa shipping 4 doller something and international 13 doller something. site is tempehonline . com .when u said to keep at damp warm place does that mean it can be kept in the cold room in basement or can i just keep it in a empty ice cooler ?

[apriswajaya]

@cherri7 as long as its not a super cool or super hot, any place is good (around 27 degrees Celsius). Remember, it has to be dark and don't let it ferment longer than 2 days. After it is fully fermented, put it into your fridge.

Hello! First, thank you for this great explanation!

I have a question : when you say "boil", when you are cooking the beans with water, you mean cooking with high fire level?

Thank you!!

[apriswajaya]

@rr201085 Your welcome, yes, boil them in high fire

[misssgenoise]

thank you very much!!!!

[mohammadheza]

im in cardiff uk. need ' tempeh starter (ragi)'...where to get it?

[ajmasouras]

Once they are ready how long can you store them and do you freeze or refrigerate them?

[apriswajaya]

@ajmasouras if u put them in the fridge, it will last for 2 days.  If you put them in a freezer, it will last for a month or more

[PsalmsNmyrrh]

HI, I wanted to make my own black bean paste/sauce and the ingredients called for fermented beans. Would this be the first step to making the paste? I dont like the store bean paste because it is too, too salty for me and makes me sick. thanks

[arowana61]

nice video

[fdzwes]

good video!!!

[m4niest]

Ibu maaf baru kasih kabar sekarang. Alhamdulilah..........berkat saran dari ibu akhirnya tempe saya buat bagus sekarang dan putih bersih, semoga Allah menambahkan ilmu yang Ibu miliki karna ibu tidak pelit dalam memberikan ilmu yang ibu punya. Amien...............saya bahagian dan bangga sekali atas hasil yang saya dapat pelajari dari ibu. Semoga keberhasian selalu bersama ibu juga keluarga:-) salam dari saya

[apriswajaya]

@m4niest wah, selamat ya hahaha. iya, terimakasih, kalo ada pertanyaan lagi please do not hesitate to ask.

[m4niest]

gak tahu kenapa....jadinya tempe itu bosok bgitu........hari ke dua bagus putih....pas hari ke 3 nya koq malahan bosok. itu sebenarnya bolong" itu ada jarak tertentu ga tau boleh berdekatan juga berapa banyak bolongan nya itu klo pake plastil 1/4kg bu? maaf y banyak nanyanya karna saya ingin success bikin tempe

[apriswajaya]

@m4niest coba aja lagi buat, kalo sudah 2 hari di dalam process fermentasi, di potong dan liat kalau sudah keras tempe nya. tadi bilang nya 3 hari, mungkin kelamaan, maximum 2 hari dan itu harus langsung di taro ti kulkas. bolong sih sebenarnya tidak masalah, platic bisa robek kalo kebanyakan bolong. good luck

[m4niest]

pengisian tempe dalam plastic ini harus padat atau tidak bu? soalnya 2x saya gagal:-( . maksih atas respon nya

[apriswajaya]

@m4niest tidak harus terlalu padet, yang penting ada ruangan udara untuk fermentasi. gagal nya kenapa ?

[m4niest]

Ibu mau tanya 1 lagi:-) ,yang di taro diatas bagian yang bolong atau yang gak bolong?karna saya ada rak" di rumah. makasih atas jawban kemarin

[apriswajaya]

@m4niest ya, sama sama. yang bolon g di atas saja, biar nga tumpah nanti.

[m4niest]

Ibu itu di bolonginnya atas bawah g atau cuma 1 bagian aja?makasih

[apriswajaya]

@m4niest atas nya saja, yang penting ada bolong untuk udara masuk ke tas plastik nya

[stargirlsusan]

This seem like a whole lot of work which I'll try to do, thnx for posting and I'll have to look for the yeast all over my neighborhood,

[trancepass]

What is the name of the yeast? Any particular brand?

[apriswajaya]

@trancepass the one that we used i think is called 'ragih' but im not sure. any ol inokulum yeast should do the trick

[everlastingeuphoria]

yummm... i LOVE tempe..especially fried ones. unfortunately it looks so 'leceh' to make. haha. sya nda cukup rajin mo buat neh. i wonder if they have it for sale. well of course they do right. haha.

[apriswajaya]

if there is an asian grocery store near ur area, they shud have some for sale. i always buy any way, i dont see the difference in taste n texture

[SKTPSY]

Does it stink? I want the stinky fermented beans like 'nattou' (Japanese version) but son't like its gluey texture. I like Nepali ones, called 'kinema' but Nepalese use firewood ashes to ferment. I wonder if tempe yeast will give the same stinky flavour.

[apriswajaya]

unfortunately it doesnt stink, interesting thought tho. Might look into it

[mc4102]

i've just received my tempe starter culture (internet order), so will make the tempe this weekend!

[kingorbit]

@mc4102 I was wondering if your tempe turned out like this video. I want to try it as welll. Have you tried it anymore in the last year?

[mc4102]

@kingorbit yeah, have made tempeh several times (since my post) and they have turned out great, just the like the ones in any south east asian countries! i only parboiled the skinned / husked beans for 7 min in water laced with white vinegar.... and drained it in colander until it is almost completely dry.... add the starter culture and packed in zip-lock plastic bag puncture as demonstrated....

[mc4102]

@kingorbit yeap, just follow the recipe on this video..

[Farahmeifira]

Excellent instructions! Thank you.. :))
