Hi everybody... I am Yosi Widiyowati from Indonesia will tell you what is tempeh made of.
What Is Tempeh Made Of
Tempeh is a traditional soy product originally from Indonesia. It is made by a natural culturing and controlled fermentation process that binds soybeans into a cake form, similar to a very firm vegetarian burger patty. Tempeh is unique among major traditional soy foods in that it is the only one that did not originate from the Sinosphere cuisine.
It originated in especially popular on the island of Java, where it is a staple source of protein. Tempeh is made from soybeans, but it is a whole soybean product with different nutritional characteristics. Tempeh's fermentation process and its retention of the whole bean give it a higher content of protein, dietary fiber, and vitamins.

A fermentation starter containing the spores of fungus Rhizopus oligosporus is mixed in. The soybeans are spread into a thin layer and are allowed to ferment for 24 to 36 hours at a temperature around 30°C (86°F). In good tempeh, the beans are knitted together by a mat of white mycelium.
Under conditions of lower temperature, or higher ventilation, gray or black patches of spores may form on the surface—this is not harmful, and should not affect the flavor or quality of the tempeh.This sporulation is normal on fully mature tempeh. A mild ammonia smell may accompany good tempeh as it ferments, but it should not be overpowering. In Indonesia, Japan and other country, ripe tempeh (two or more days old) is considered a very delicacy.
