For some years ago, i lived in Madrid... and i couldnīt find so many indonesian ingredients ... from indonesian woman, who lived there i learned so many tricks and logistic-plan to conserve some spices... i learned to make tempe... itīs not too difficult, that i thought... you must have time and patience.

Dear Allan and Ina,

TEMPE MADE BY YOURSELF
Ingredients:
Kedelai kering
Ragi Tempe (Ada beberapa merk di Indonesia)
Cuka (optional)
Other:
Plastic-bag (Ziploc)
Directions:
1. Rendam kedelai selama 24 jam. Ada sedikit busa saat merendam.
2. Kupas kulitnya dengan cara diremas-remas. Kulit akan mengambang dengan sendirinya.
Note: Usahakan saat mengupas kulitnya, semua kulit benar-benar terlepas dan kedelainya terbelah (split). Tidak masalah masih ada kulit yang mengambang di dalam airnya asalkan telah terkelupas dari kedelainya. Kedelai yang masih terbungkus oleh kulit tidak akan terproses oleh ragi tempe, akibatnya akan busuk.
Kedelai yang split akan menghasilkan tempe yang lebih padat.
3. Setelah kulitnya terkelupas semuanya, beri air secukupnya kemudian rebus sampai kedelai matang dan empuk. Angkat, tiriskan dan tunggu hingga agak dingin.
4. Dalam keadaan masih hangat taburi dengan ragi tempe secara merata. Aduk-aduk hingga merata sekali.
5. Masukkan ke dalam plastik yang telah dilobangi di beberapa tempat dengan tusukan sate, tutup rapat.
7. Simpan di tempat hangat selama 1-2 hari.
Note bagi penyimpanan: Tempe perlu aliran udara di bagian bawah dan atas plastik pembungkusnya. Pada musim dingin, taruh tempe di dalam kardus yang dilapisi kertas tissue dapur atau kain. Selipkan kertas tissue dapur diantara tumpukan tempe.
8. Setelah tempe jadi, segera masukkan ke dalam lemari es, atau simpan di freezer akan tahan lebih lama.
Note:
a. Penggunaan ragi tempe
Untuk daerah tropis atau musim panas, Gunakan ragi tempe sesuai dengan aturan pada kemasan: 2 gr ragi untuk 1 kg kedelai. Di musim dingin ( berdasarkan pengalaman jumlah raginya harus ditambah sedikit.
b. Kepercayaan pembuat tempe:
Konon pembuat tempe percaya bahwa mulai langkah ke 3 di atas, kedelai tidak boleh tersentuh tangan, jadi pakai sarung tangan plastik, ikuti saja biar yakin jadi tempenya.

oooh... interesting...
Terima kasih Dyah!
I can translate Diah's receipe into English if anyone interested , no fee :oops:
Pardon me if my translation is not perfect .
Receipe by Diah.
1. Soak the soy beans for 24 hours. The water wl be foamy.
2. peal the skin by squising the beans till the peels float. Make sure to peal all the skin and split the beans. The unpealed beans will not fermentate but will be rotten (bad). The splited beans will be perfect for fermentation. Your tempe will be hard and solid.
3. Boil the pealed beans untill soft, drain and let it cool a little bit (warm)
4. While still warm, sprinkle the yeast (special yeast for tempe) over the beans. Stir till mix.
5. Store the beans in a plastic bag or ziplog. Poke several small holes in the bag with bamboo skewer/tooth pick to let the air in/out for perfect fermentation.
6. Store in a warm room for 1-2 days. Make sure to leave a space for the air to come through the upper and bottom side of the warps (ziplog). In the cooler weather store the tempe inside a cardboard and layer a paper towel or kitchen towel in between the package.
7. When the Tempe is ready, refrigerate or keep in the freezer for later use.
NOTE:
For tropical climate or during summer , use the yeast according to the directions on the package i.e. 2 grams for 1 kg of soy beans. Base on my experience, add more yeast in cooler climate (fall/winter)
Supersticious among the tempe makers
do not touch the cooked soy beans with your bare hands, use gloves. For some reason, they believe that beans touched by bare hands will not fermentate.
GOOD LUCK!
Thanks Dahlia.
We will look for the ragi tempe/tempeh yeast/tempeh starter (Rhizopus oligosporus) at some shops about a half hours drive away that stock a lot of Indonesian foodstuffs.
