Philosophical Vegan Forum

So I'm late to the tempeh game. I have just been putting it on sandwiches so far for it's nutritional benefits but I understand it can really take food to another level. what do you do with your tempeh? marinades etc.

you can make vegan tempeh bacon. It involves marinating sliced tempeh, with maple syrup, smoke flavour (vegan) and a bit of your preferred oil. Marinate overnight and then either BBQ it or fry it up on the stove. Its really good, even as a toping on a sandwich.

Haven't been able to find tempeh for some reason in my stores which is a surprise since I live in Manhattan

I do a lot of my shopping at health food stores as they typically have a variety of vegan products you won't find at the local supermarket

My "local" health food store isn't that local. Since I live in Manhattan it takes me awhile to find places like those :/

I like tempeh, but as others mentioned it can be hard to find.

It might be worth making it yourself? It is just a molding process, after all- you just need a clean container you can keep warm, and the right culture.

Plenty of blog posts on it:

Ingredients are pretty cheap, dry, and last a long time.

I make tofu and nut cheese sometimes; I'll have to give tempeh a go soon.

Awesome. Please take pictures and post about your experience if you can.

I love it when I can just order a tiny package of something online, like a starter, and use it to make hundreds of pounds of food

Here is our website showing our easy method for making your own tempeh
makethebesttempeh.org. We produced Betsy's Tempeh in Mich. for 9 1/2 years using a new patented process that our customers loved. We sold our tempeh in both patty and grated from. Recently we filed a patent for a tempeh incubator that could be used in restaurants and small shops making artisan tempeh for the local community. The name is TempehSure which you can google and get an idea when it will be available for sale. We will begin testing the prototype very soon.
Feel free to write with any questions/comments you have.

Wow, nice. Did you guys set a google alert for keywords?

http://tempehsure.com/

When it it coming out? Any word on pricing?
How many pounds does it make a day?

I'd probably readily pay around $50 for the convenience and compact nature for a home appliance if it makes around 2-3 pounds- just for reference.

I'm a kitchen appliance whore
I like to DIY too, but that looks really shiny.

At more than $80 I'd be more inclined make my own.

But I totally support anything that makes veganism easier and brings it more into the affordable mainstream.
