Tempeh (Fermented Soybeans)

Tempeh (Fermented Soybeans) is an Indonesian-origin fermented soybean cake commonly used as a firm, meat‑alternative ingredient in Southeast Asian and global plant-based cooking; it’s known for its nutty flavor and ability to be grilled, sliced, crumbled or marinated. It’s a concentrated plant protein source, providing about 20.3g of protein per 100g, and fermentation improves soy digestibility and gives it a chewy texture that holds up well to high-heat cooking. Nutritionally it also delivers meaningful fiber and mostly unsaturated fats, along with minerals such as manganese and copper, making it a nutrient-dense option for vegetarian and omnivore dishes.
