Tempeh is a compact cake of fermented soybeans bound by a white mycelium. It has a firm, chewy bite and holds shape when sliced, cubed, or crumbled, and it readily takes on marinades after a brief steam. It cooks well by searing, stir frying, grilling, or braising and is sold in vacuum-sealed blocks, plain or mixed with grains or other legumes.\n\nOriginating on the island of Java in Indonesia, tempeh developed as a Rhizopus-fermented soybean food and spread through Indonesian and Southeast Asian cuisines. Modern production steams dehulled soybeans, inoculates with starter, and incubates to knit a cohesive cake now made worldwide.
