TEMPE(h) : THE INSTRUCTIONS

Ingredients :
-1 Kg Soya bean

-Water (enough to boil and wash)

-1 Gram tempeh starter (Rhizopus.sp), http://www.tempeh.info/starter/free-sample.php

Step by step instructions for making tempe(h)
'''1.Boil the soya bean. Make sure it's boiled for ten minutes only, not longer than that.' [this part will decide the softness of the final tempe(h)]''



2.When the soya bean is cooked, remove the skin manually by squeezing the beans. [don't hurt yourself, cool down the beans before squeezing]



3.Wash, and filter it. [make sure all the skins are removed]



4.Leave it in the pot overnight. [this process will make the tempe more softer, also to make sure all the skin is removed, PS: foam will appear, then it's perfect]



5.After one night, boil the soya bean again. ''[this process is to neutralize the soya bean from the contaminant. why? because we leave it overnight.]''



6.Drain the water, let it cool and dry. [dryyyyyy.....!!!]



7.Inoculate the tempe starter/rhizopus.sp. [pour the dried fungi into the soya bean container, and mix it]



8.Spread the soya bean evenly in the plastic sheets, and wrap it. [make sure the thickness is not more than 3 cm]



9.Wrap another sheet of plastic around tightly overnight. [but open the second plastic layer in the next day]



10.Leave the process for 2 more days then the tempe(h) is ready. [keep at room temperature]
