You will need any kind of soy beans and Tempe Yeasts (NOTE: Any Yeasts DOES NOT work, it must be TEMPE Yeast) . Enjoy

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.

@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.

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

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

@apriswajaya thanks for tips :D

[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.
