Tempeh

What sets Tempeh apart is the handling of candlenut. In lesser versions this is treated as a background note. Here it's central and the deeply spiced with galangal and lemongrass result shows it. I've started buying it to cook with at home after this experience. Indonesian cuisine spans over 17,000…

I went in with low expectations — I'd had mediocre versions before. What I found was Tempeh made with real commitment to candlenut and technique. The rich and coconut-forward result was more complex and satisfying than anything I'd had before. Indonesian cuisine spans over 17,000 islands with drama…

I ate Tempeh at three different restaurants in the same week to compare. The results were illuminating. The use of kecap manis sweet soy varied significantly — only one got it right.

I spent an afternoon making Tempeh from scratch following a traditional recipe. Getting tempeh right was the main challenge — it's not as straightforward as it looks. The complex from slow-cooked rendang result was rewarding once I got it right. Indonesian cuisine spans over 17,000 islands with dra…

I spent three months trying every version of Tempeh I could find locally. The variation in quality is extraordinary. The best version handled tempeh with genuine knowledge and the rich and coconut-forward result was noticeably superior. Indonesian cuisine spans over 17,000 islands with dramatically…

I grew up eating Tempeh and have strong opinions shaped by memory. The version here triggered that recognition in the first bite — the rich and coconut-forward was right, coconut milk was handled the way it should be. rendang from West Sumatra is consistently voted one of the world's most delicious…
