Tempeh is a food full of perfect nutrition, has a very high protein because it is made from fermented soybeans to become a delicious and nutritious food. Tempeh is one of the favorite foods for almost all Indonesian people, so its existence is very sought after and needed.
Even so, tempeh is currently experiencing a raw material crisis, because the main ingredients are imported from abroad, so soybeans are very expensive, while the main focus of tempeh is cheap nutritious food, so currently tempeh is no longer categorized as cheap food.
For me, tempeh is a must-have in the kitchen, because my husband loves it, he can't live without tempeh, especially with tempeh wrapped in banana leaves. Fun fact, that tempeh wrapped in banana leaves tastes better than those wrapped in plastic, even though the price is the same, but it seems that tempeh wrapped in banana leaves is more perfectly fermented.
You know that I always cook tempeh bacem every weekend as stock that must be in the refrigerator and then fried every day, so I'm very practical to prepare food for my husband, especially for breakfast. It's a bit complicated because you have to work full time in the kitchen all day, but it will be very practical every day.
Well, luckily today I have more time to cook tempeh bacem, so I can take some photos to show you how to make tempeh bacem. Especially for those who have just started a healthy life, tempeh bacem can be used as a substitute for meat that has high protein which is good for the body, as a good amino acid for daily needs.
