English[edit]
Etymology[edit]
From Indonesian tempe, possibly from Old Javanese tumpi (“a food made from starch and tempeh”), or Indonesian tapai (“fermentation”).[1]
Pronunciation[edit]
Noun[edit]
tempeh (countable and uncountable, plural tempehs)
- An Indonesian food made from partially-cooked soybeans fermented by a fungus (either Rhizopus oligosporus or Rhizopus oryzae).
- Coordinate term: tofu
- 1960, Bwee-Hwa Yap, Nutritional and Chemical Studies on Tempeh, Cornell University, page 28:
- Usually sporulation occurred when the tempeh had been exposed to air ( e.g. as the result of uncovering of the pan too frequently ) .
- 1989, Dorothy R. Bates, The Tempeh Cookbook, Book Publishing Company, page 7:
- Fresh or defrosted tempeh will keep 3 to 4 days in a refrigerator at 40°F, and at least 6 months or more in a freezer. When putting fresh tempeh into a refrigerator or freezer, don't stack the packages because heat from one package to another will encourage the culturing process to continue.
- 2015, Eka Kurniawan, translated by Labodalih Sembiring, Man Tiger, Verso, page 1:
- The leaves were of use only to the tempeh factories, which collected them every night.
Usage notes[edit]
The fungus used for fermentation is sometimes called tempeh starter.
