You'll need: dried beans, vinegar, a thermometer and somewhere warm.
Tempeh is a traditional Indonesian food made from fermented whole beans, with a firm, meaty bite and a nutty, mushroomy flavour. Use it in stir-fries, curries, salads, sandwiches, tacos and ramen.
Our tempeh starter culture contains high numbers of active Rhizopus spores and is free of pathogenic bacteria, such as salmonella.
Storage: keep it sealed and dry. It lasts about 6 months, and longer if kept chilled in the fridge.
