Soy - Free Tempeh (3 kinds) 

I wanted to make my own tempeh for so long but I was so intimidated by all the equipment suggested for making it at home. Also, when I looked closely into making it, my other big concern was all the plastic used. I decided to give it another try using a wood box and glass containers to make this homemade soy-free tempeh, and I’m so glad I did. Now I’m confident to share with you how making tempeh at home can be easy--plus you can make it with any kind of beans, seeds, and grains! I hope you try making it too!

Well if u hard to find some tempe starter, u can make by yourself. Just bought tempeh from asian market or indonesian market. Slice them into little pieces and make it more moldy by covering them in a bowl with saran wrap. Once u notice the mold is growing, open the plastic wrap and let it dry. After 1 day or so, when the tempeh is really dry, u can put them in the food processor and mix them with some rice flour. Sieve it into a good powder. Now u can use it to make tempe in the future.

I love these cooking demos with NO TALKING. It doesn't clutter the mind and you can really focus on the simplicity of the process of making whole foods. Awesome background music choice.

The aesthetics and that simplicity of this video are amazingly beautiful 💕

Here in Indonesia where the tempeh origins, most of them use plastic too, but some makers use banana leaves or bamboo. For me, tempe that is wrapped using banana leave or molded using bamboo taste better.

holy crap this kitchen. The all clad pots, the flaweless gas stovetop, the seperate filtered water tap over the deep sink!

Remind me when my grandmother still strong enough to harvest her own coffee and soy to make coffee and tempeh. It was a long process and takes a lot of dedication. She didn't sell them, just for our own consumption. I was too young to make a useful help so most of them time I was just watching her while helping a little bit ❤️❤️❤️

I am in LOVE with your channel omg. I am so glad I found your videos.

Wow, this is the very first cooking video of how to make tempeh that can be zero waste, usually people cover it with plastic wrap and honestly, this is amazing. You really provided a much needed alternative, and some extra unique choices that really great, you are the best!

I have made all of these, several times, and soy tempeh too. They freeze very well too.The only one that did not work was with orange lentils, they fall apart and remain too soggy to leave in a dish without a wrap. Thanks so much for posting. Thanks to this post and the cultured tofu you taught me to make, I never buy tofu anymore. And we are healthier for it.

I love watching your videos... not only are they interesting, informative and pleasing to the eye, they are also very relaxing to watch. Unlike a lot of these videos out there that are loud and in your face, can't stand those kinds of videos! They're just trying to sell their personalities. With you, you are making it all about the foods you are creating. Your videos are the far by the best ones on here. Thanks for taking the time to put them together and for sharing them with us, your recipes are AMAZING!!! 😊👍❤️

I have had tempeh starter in my fridge for so long! I didn't want to use so much plastic, and the organic soy beans I buy end up tasting old and inedible.. this video solves all my tempeh-problems. Lol And the last one with rice, lentils, etc., is genius.

You make it look so easy, the true sign of a master. Thank YOU.

i had always wondered how to make difft bean tempeh and now everybody is doing it. love it.

How the two glas boxes fit perfectly into the wooden box. Zen perfection. Love your videos. ❤️

This is by far the best tempeh how-to I've seen. It's developing so well in my wine box here. I can't wait to try it with other legumes as well. Thank you!

The best method I learn so far in making tempeh and the ingredients used, rice can be fermented with beans. 🌷thank you very much

Thank you for this walk through video. I found it very helpful!

Thank you for making this video! So relaxing and informational.

This popped up when I searched making homemade tempeh. It's exactly what I need as I've got a shed load of dried black eye peas in my pantry. Going on Amazon now to order my starter. Thanks for a great step-by-step video, it was also very calming.

Thank you!! 😊 I can’t wait to try this & love the non-soy alternatives 🙏

I just came from Biofach where Peaceful Delicious had these types of tempeh. Of course I knew there are many more types than soy one but I just was amazed. I love lupine tempeh that one could find in the same show several years back. Now seeing the simplicity of this fabulous craft, let's learn how to do tempeh, plant cheeses, kimchi and other fermentation basics in our kitchen and stop depending on large supermarket chains that can hardly match the quality. It is joy to create beautiful foods for ourselves and loved ones. Thank you for these beautiful videos full of serenity and wisdom.

I've only read about making tempeh (never seen it made before). thanks for this!

Thank U soooo much! Your recipes are awesome , i have learned sooo much thanks to you, and the way you have filmed those recipes ( focus on the hands , music , subtitles is so soothing for my mind, as well as nurturing 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼💫🙏🏼 Infinite Blessings and Gratitude 😍🎊🐝🌈 Réa

I want to thank you because thanks to you I can make tempeh, after several failures and therefore waste. In fact, as long as I did it with nylon bags, even if they were perforated and with less humidity, everything went bad. Since I've been doing it in glass containers and without wasting time making the legumes less moist, as well as not using plastic, I've never failed again. It doesn't come very compact, it tends to lose a few pieces when cut, but the mold is well formed both inside and out and tempeh, with any legume, is delicious! So many thanks for your sharing. ❤

You. Are. Awesome. Thank you for sharing your talents with all of us😊

Love this minimalist video recipe. Beautiful content.

Wow i appreciate your creativity with different kind of beans.

Absolutely lovely, thanks for sharing.

Your videos on Tempe are the best and now I'm going to try to make my own

Amazing idea! Thank you! I am trying it today... cant wait till it’s ready.

I was looking for a short project while my soy sauce and miso paste experiments do their thing. Somehow I found this video you’d just uploaded. Talk about serendipity! I’ll let you know how it turns out. Thanks!

Great and simple Idea. I will try that and I hope it works, too. Thank you 🙏♥️

I've been curious about how to make multigrain tempeh. Thank you for this video!! Can't wait to try :)

Wow you are amazing! I really appreciate these videos, thank you!

So much easier with your recipe. Thank you for sharing!

Wow, you're such a genius! I'm gonna try to make this. Thank you!

Wow, I just love this video. It's well done, thorough and very calming. Can't wait to give it a try. Thank you 😊

Thanks so much for sharing!

Loved that you didn't use plastic. I don't usually make tempeh because of those dreadful poked ziplocks. I'm definitely using your method now.

Thank you for showing a plastic free, zero waste, way of making tempeh 🤩

Thanks for the recipe!! I will tried to make it new variations 🤩

Wonderful!!! THANK YOU!

This looked so much fun!

I love your channel so much

I just learned something new and useful. Thank you. Liked and subscribed.

Love what I have seen so far! You are outstanding. You have a new sub! :)

love this video, tempe is one of my favourite food

Thank you for this beautiful video! I love making my own tempeh but did not like using ziploc bags. Can't wait to do it this way now.

Can't wait to try it by myself..! Thank you very much :) Greetings from Germany

i love it!!

Its so relaxing......

Beautiful peaceful relaxing video 🧖🧖🧖 thank you for sharing

As always I enjoy your videos on making healthy vegetarian food at home...

Thank you; how amazing, I appreciate this so much :)

Great video, very appreciative of your work and shared knowledge. Thank you 👍

That’s really interesting! I don’t really like tempeh, or at least the times I have tried it before, I just didn’t like it. But your video just showed me, that there are multiple possible variations. So I’ll try to find one that I like, and then I’ll definitely try out doing it myself based on this video. Thanks a lot!

Beautiful video and inspiring for different kinds of protein to use!

Amazing recipes and inspiring / relaxing video 👌🏽

I recently tried making tempeh for the first time, and swore afterwards that I would never do it again. Trying to keep the temperature constant in my dehydrator was too difficult. Then I saw your method. I successfully made soybean tempeh using your method and am getting ready to try it with chickpeas. I can't tell you how much I appreciate your video.

Awesome, I will definitely give your method a try because I would like to stay away from the plastic wraps and by now I have not been lucky with the other methods I found here on youtube. They do not work for me. Thank you very much for this very fine tutorial.

Awesome, I was recently looking into making my own tempeh (which I go through a lot of) but was put off by all of the plastic involved and the complexity. From this I think I already have everything I need (minus the cultures) and will give it a try! Thanks

it looks yummy very informative thanks for sharing

Thanks for this! I finally have some better approaches to this.

It's a game changer. Thank you & Love you :)

Such level of elegance.

Thank you so much for this video, i always felt turned off my the use of plastic bags so I’m very happy to know I can use other containers just fine! Where I live it’s cold especially in the winter, so I found a yoghurt maker that I can set the ideal temperature to, I hope it’ll work, your tempeh is inspiring!

Great video! Nice to see another way of making tempeh. I have made some recently and after nearly 3 days the mould is very good but I wanted to see if I could take it further. Are there any risks of leaving chickpeas or beans outside at room temperature for 3 days or longer? Do you have any good recipes for tempeh? Thanks for any advice.

Ah... This remind me the day im used to make tempe for biology class. I nade alo of them with my friend and we cooked them together. So much fun

Wunderbar!

my favorite is soybean tempeh followed by okara tempeh and then adzuki bean tempeh. I really want to make peanut tempeh but haven't gotten around to it.

please,talk about and compare the taste. I tried tempeh made of soy and I was not happy but now I found one made of sprouted yellow peas..so,so good with amazing texture!

Owesome.....simple way to make tempeh ...👍so glad to know you made this video ...i would try to make seems like you👍👍👍👍👍

Yeaah.. In some village in indonesia we use non soy bean to make tempe. I eat lamtoro tempe this evening. Its very rare. But we loved to use banana leaves to make tempe (sometimes we used another leaves like jati). The leaves gives tempe extra nice smeels..

So happy to found your channel. I made Tempe from other beans too.😊😊😊

This is awesome!

Wow! This inspired me to make some homemade tempeh too! Thank you!

Dear GVK, first of all: thank you for your beautiful and inspiring videos :) Where I live there's a (very pricey) tempeh manufacturer and they offer tempeh that's been marinated (?) or at least spiced during the process. Varieties such as ground cilantro seeds&garlic, or a mixture of wild herbs for example. Do you think one should add spices and other flavor giving components into the mixture before inoculation or do you think it would be best if you rubbed the tempeh with herbs and such after the mold has fully grown? tysm and have a great day!

¡Me gusta! 👍🏼

Look delicious

Wow. It really interesting

thanks a lot! very beautiful and inspiring! your channel for me is a true pleasure

Tempeeee makanan favorit akuhhhhhh!!!! Bikin oncom juga dong

awesome video, very elegant and straightforward something i cannot understand is how moist the beans are -- usually in every guide they ask to dry them very consistently also your fermentation times are very long, yet you manage to produce consistent tempeh without apparent microbial growth... where did you learn of such a method? also about the "firmness" in fridge, how did you learn about it?

Ohhh'''...thanks you Jeem 🙏🏼...i' m so happy to test new recipes of tempeh 😋🤭...yes...why only soja? It' always a real pleasure to look your receipe ...🙏🏼💖

thank you it looks so professional my question is the mold is good for the health ? apologise for the ignorance i am new at this thank you

Thanks for sharing! Mine came out great. I wondered what would happen if you add diced peppers or onion before the starter

Saya suka tempe❤

Wow! I want to make my own now! Could you show us some recipes you make with Tempeh?

Thank you for sharing this easy to follow video. It’s also aesthetically pleasing! May I know what room temperature is yours where you kept the box?

Thank you for this wonderful video! I would like to make Adzuki bean tempeh. I'm assuming I would use your black bean method to make it?

subtitulos en Esoañol, por fabor, muy bien elaborado,, muchisimas gracias

Aku anak tempe. Tempe mendoan pake sambel kecap, tempe yang dibungkus daun pisang, di celupkan ke tepung yg sudah dibumbui ditambah daun bawang, lalu di goreng sebentar, diangkat dan taruh sambel kecap manis diatasnya, yummie 😄

Hola. Mientras lo dejas fermentando ¿dónde lo guardas?. Muchas gracias por este video.😃

Hi! Thank you fir making this look easy. Is it possible to make tempeh from canned chickpeas or beans?

Perfect
