• Water for soaking and cooking

Tools

• Large bowl for soaking
• Cooking pot
• Colander for draining
• Clean cloth or banana leaves for wrapping
• Incubator or warm place for fermentation

Step 2: Soak the Soybeans

• Place the soybeans in a large bowl.
• Add enough water to fully submerge the soybeans.
• Soak the soybeans for 8-12 hours or overnight to soften them.

Step 3: Cook the Soybeans

• Drain the soaked soybeans using a colander.
• Transfer the soybeans to a cooking pot and add fresh water.
• Boil the soybeans for about 30 minutes until they are tender.
• Drain again and let the soybeans cool to room temperature.

Step 4: Prepare the Soybeans for Fermentation

• Once cooled, mash the soybeans slightly to help the fermentation process.
• Sprinkle the tempeh starter over the soybeans evenly.
• Mix gently to ensure the starter is well incorporated.

Step 5: Wrap the Soybeans

• Take a clean cloth or banana leaf and place the soybean mixture in it.
• Form it into a compact block shape.
• Wrap it tightly to prevent air from entering.

Step 6: Ferment the Tempeh

• Place the wrapped soybeans in an incubator or a warm place (around 30-32°C or 86-90°F).
• Allow the tempeh to ferment for 24-48 hours.
• Check periodically for the formation of a white mycelium, indicating successful fermentation.

Step 7: Store or Cook the Tempeh

• Once fermentation is complete, the tempeh should be firm and have a pleasant nutty aroma.
• You can cook the tempeh immediately by steaming, frying, or baking.
• Alternatively, store the tempeh in the refrigerator for up to a week or freeze it for longer storage.
