Yield 4 to 5 cakes

Number Of Ingredients 20

3 pounds soybeans
1 tablespoon tempeh starter (rhizopus oligosporus)
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup French-cut scallions
1 egg or egg substitute
1 tablespoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon ground pepper
1 teaspoon ground turmeric
Salt
Oil, for frying
Acar, recipe follows
1/2 quart vinegar
1 1/2 cups sugar
3/4 cup sambal oelek
1 tablespoon salt
2 cups ripe pineapple cubes
1 cup diced red peppers
1 carrot, julienne
1 cucumber, diced
1/2 cabbage, thinly sliced

Steps:

  • For the tempeh: Wash soybeans and place in a pot filled with water. Soak overnight; soybeans will grow three times in size.
  • Boil soybeans for about 2 hours at a low rolling boil, extracting the foam and loose hulls that float on top. Turn off heat and let cool in water. Dehull and drain.
  • Boil soybeans again for another 30 minutes, then drain all water.
  • Place soybeans on a sheet pan to cool.
  • Sprinkle tempeh starter on the soybean batch and mix.
  • Place 2 to 3 cups dried soybeans in a sandwich bag, then seal and poke holes in both sides for ventilation and to encourage mycelium growth. Repeat with remaining dried soybeans.
  • Ferment in an 85- to 90-degree environment until soybeans are covered in a white mat of mycelium, about 2 days. Store in fridge for immediate use or freeze.
  • For the tempeh fritters: Cut 1 tempeh cake into slices.
  • Combine flour, scallions, egg and seasonings in a bowl. Add 2 cups water and make into a batter.
  • Fill a nonstick pan halfway with oil and heat. Dip tempeh in batter and fry. Serve with Acar.
  • Whisk together vinegar, sugar, sambal oelek, salt and 1 quart water in a large bowl until sugar and salt dissolve.
  • Add pineapple, peppers, carrot, cucumber and cabbage and let sit in fridge overnight.

These fritters were a waste of time. They were bland and didn't have any texture.

I was disappointed with these fritters. They didn't have much flavor and they were kind of dry.

These fritters were too oily for my liking. I think I'll try baking them next time instead of frying them.

I had a hard time getting the fritters to stick together. I think I might have needed to add more flour to the batter.

These fritters were a bit bland for my taste. I think I'll add some more spices next time.

These fritters were easy to make and turned out perfectly. I served them with a side of sweet and sour sauce and they were a big hit with my family.

I'm not usually a fan of tempeh, but these fritters were surprisingly delicious. The marinade really helped to add flavor and moisture to the tempeh.
