MAKING TEMPEH , THE INSTRUCTION:
How To Make Tempeh
Makes2 (approximately 14-ounce) cakes
Ingredients
1 pound(about 2 1/2 cups) dried whole soybeans
2 tablespoons white vinegar
1 teaspoon tempeh starter
Equipment
Large bowl
Colander
Potato masher (optional)
4-quart or larger pot 2
baking sheets
Paper towels or clean kitchen towels
Measuring spoons
Mixing spoon 2
quart-sized zip-top bags
Skewer or large needle
Incubator (see above)
Oven thermometer (if necessary to gauge temperature of incubator)
Instant-read thermometer (optional)
Instructions
Soak the beans: Place the beans in a large bowl and cover by 3 inches with water. Let stand overnight or at least 12 hours.
De-hull
and split the beans: The hulls or skins need to be removed in order for
the spores to inoculate the beans. Using your hands or a potato masher,
knead and squeeze the beans so that the hulls fall off and the beans
split in half. This is the most labor-intensive part of the
tempeh-making process and may take 10 to 20 minutes. Don't worry about
de-hulling and splitting every last bean, but do try to get a majority
of them. Periodically stir the water so the hulls to float to the
surface; skim them off and discard them.
Cook the beans: Drain
the beans, transfer them to a large pot, and cover by 2 inches with
fresh water. Bring to a boil. Skim off and discard any foam or hulls
that rise to the surface. Reduce the heat and simmer, partially covered,
until the beans are tender but not mushy, about 45 minutes.
Prepare
the zip-top bags: While the beans are cooking, prepare the bags. Using
the skewer or a large needle, prick holes in the bags at 1-inch
intervals.
Dry the beans: Drain the beans. Spread them out on two towel-lined baking sheets and pat them dry.
Cool the beans: Let the beans cool to below body temperature.
Add
the vinegar: Transfer the beans to a clean, dry bowl. Sprinkle the
vinegar over the beans and mix well. Adding vinegar lowers the pH and
prevents the growth of unwanted bacteria.
Add the tempeh starter: Sprinkle the tempeh starter over the beans and mix for about a minute to distribute evenly.
Fill the bags: Divide the beans between the two bags.
Flatten the bags: Seal the bags and flatten the beans out evenly.
Incubate
the tempeh: Place the bags in the incubator. The temperature must be
between 85°F and 90°F for the next 24 to 48 hours, so periodically check
to make sure the temperature is consistent
