TEMPE(h) : THE INSTRUCTIONS
(Proses pembuatan tempe yang dilakukan oleh mahasiswa Mikrobiologi Pertanian UGM di swiss pada acara HackteriaLab2011)
Ingredients :
-1 Kg Soya bean
-Water (enough to boil and wash)
-1 Gram tempeh starter (Rhizopus.sp), http://www.tempeh.info/starter/free-sample.php
Step by step instructions for making tempe(h)
1.Boil the soya bean. Make sure it’s boiled for ten minutes only, not longer than that. [this part will decide the softness of the final tempe(h)]
2.When the soya bean is cooked, remove the skin manually by squeezing the beans. [don’t hurt yourself, cool down the beans before squeezing]
3.Wash, and filter it. [make sure all the skins are removed]
4.Leave it in the pot overnight. [this process will make the tempe more softer, also to make sure all the skin is removed, PS: foam will appear, then it’s perfect]
5.After one night, boil the soya bean again. [this process is to neutralize the soya bean from the contaminant. why? because we leave it overnight.]
6.Drain the water, let it cool 40 C and dry. [dryyyyyy…..!!!]
7.Inoculate the tempe starter/rhizopus.sp. [pour the dried fungi into the soya bean container, and mix it]
8.Spread the soya bean evenly in the plastic sheets, and wrap it. [make sure the thickness is not more than 3 cm]
9.Wrap another sheet of plastic around tightly overnight. [but open the second plastic layer in the next day]
10.Leave the process for 2 more days then the tempe(h) is ready. [keep at room temperature]
