      I once made my own Tempeh with chickpeas instead of soya beans (I ordered the starter culture online) and it was so damn delicious that I’ve tried several ways of sourcing a store made chickpea Tempeh, because it was a bit time consuming when you live alone. Even phoned some suppliers 😂
      Not available in my country, but hoping it will be soon!

    I made a bomb tempeh wrap today by slicing the tempeh into thin strips and sauteeing them in oil with some sliced mushrooms. Then after they were all golden brown on both sides, I poured in a sauce I made from a tablespoon of ssamjang, soy sauce, and a splash of rice vinegar and sesame oil. When they were nicely coated with the sauce, I loaded up a tortilla with the tempeh and mushrooms, along with some crispy lettuce and ranch dressing (trust me, it goes really well together.) Try it, you will love it! Zero bitterness detected.

    My mom has indonesian roots so I grew up eating tempeh dishes and I've always loved it! I always took it so personally when my Dutch classmates told me how disgusting (and smelly?) they found tempeh :')

    • @thatsalt1560
      @thatsalt1560 2 года назад +6

      I ate tempeh for the first time last year and I'm 47. It's not at all smelly. It has a pleasant texture too. The taste is specifically tempeh. It's a new flavour if you didn't eat it before, but it's fairly mild. It's a lot worse the first time you're served sauerkraut.

    • @Heavenlyrules

      @@keeganitreal Indonesian here. Fresh and good tempeh shouldn't taste bitter. It just have nutty flavor.
      Bitter tempeh means it is old or over fermented. Even most indonesian don't like to eat that.
      Here in indonesia, we only sell fresh tempeh just for one day. The seller won't sell them again in the next day, so everyday is always new batch of freshly made tempeh.

I've made the tempeh taco's twice now and they're a huge hit with my non-vegan dad as well- I think he might even like them more than me! I had some leftover canned corn the first time I made them, so I charred it a bit in a frying pan and added that to the tacos as well- what a match made in heaven! The avocado crema also makes an incredible base for avocado toast or sandwiches. I've used the method for cutting tempeh in the kecap for other stir fries as well. I can't wait to try the bbq sandwhich!

There is sooooo much more traditional tempeh recipes, and I hope you can try them! We have garlic, brined then fried tempeh (idk what these are called but they’re so good), tempe bacem, tempe mendoan, and what you have cooked, we called it tempe orek. Personally, I add tamarind and shaved brown sugar, and only add fried peanuts (and fried little anchovies for non vegans). They last a looong time in a jar in the tropics so they’re perfect for a quick breakfast or as a side. Love you videos!

    I don’t know what is wrong with people. Tempeh is not bitter. I love the taste even raw out of the pack. it has a beautiful, earthy, natural flavor. People are too used to artificial flavors that they think anything natural is “bitter” or gross

      Agree with you it’s delicious, especially when you make it spicy or in the forms of chips ! 😊

    I have tried the kecap and the bbq tempeh ... WOW! Loved them and i have not been much of a fan of tempeh at all. Thanks so much for tackling this and working hard to develop such yummy recipes!

    I love this recipe so much! I am new to plant-based stuff, and my mom turned me onto Tempeh, then sent me your channel. This recipe just makes it better, but I actually really like it raw and unseasoned as well 😊.

    Thank you so much! I've really struggled with forcing myself to like tempeh. I've tried boiling, etc, but nothing helped. The crumbling technique with hot pan saute worked perfectly. I ended up mixing in a teriyaki sauce in the end, and serving it as a bowl, with rice, pickled veggies, and cilantro. My wife and kids devoured it! They've never eaten any of my tempeh dishes before...

    Begone the days of boiling/steaming slices of tempeh before vaguely crisping it up in a pan and slathering it in BBQ sauce! Dunno why I was always scared to skip the boiling/steaming, but the slices look so much more crispy and nice with your method. Can't wait to try these out, so happy to see new recipes using ingredients that deserve more love.

    Tempeh is legit incredible, I've been making the Vegan with a Vengeance fennel tempeh crumbles recipe for like 15 years, one of my favorite meals and it goes with so many things - breakfast with toast, add it to pasta, etc. Thanks for the new recipes!

  • @michellej5616

    Super fun video. I have cooked the same (delicious) tempeh recipe for years (no, I'm not tired of it; Kim Barnouin's Peanut Pasta Tempeh...so good, and a staple in my house), and I've been trying to increase my protein. (As a vegetarian for 30+ years, the carbs just begin to add up...increasing protein helps.) What I like about this video the most, though, is seeing how the three different ways you treat tempeh. My favorite tempeh recipe uses the method you used for your tacos, but I've never actually tried it in tacos. But I will. Definitely going to try all three of these, but it gives me ideas, too. Love that.

      Update: I can now confirm that these tacos are delicious! The day after I made them, I went back to the store for more tempeh so I could have them two days in a row. They’re that good! And pickled shallots and jalapeños are my new favorite thing. Thank you for this recipe and video! I would not have tried this were it not for the others who didn’t like tempeh. Yum!
