Tempeh is made by culturing and fermenting soybeans into a cakey form as pictured above. Because of the way it is fermented, it has a higher protein, vitamin, and dietary fiber content than its close relative, tofu. It has an interesting, meaty texture and naturally nutty taste.
Tempeh comes in several different forms. You can buy it raw in the form of flax, soy, or vegetable tempeh, or even buy it pre-marinted. One of my favorites is tempeh bacon!
Raw tempeh is pretty gross. It takes some nurturing through steaming, frying, or marinating in order to make it taste good.
