Tempeh is one of the few key fermented foods that originates from the Malay archipelago. And in recent years, this funky, soy product has grown in a big way, especially with the rise of meat alternatives and a global shift towards a more plant-based diet. To tell us all about this funky, fermented food, is Azimin Saini from Tempeh Culture, a tiny tempeh (pardon the pun) business from Singapore. He talks about his heritage, weigh in on the recent tempeh boom, and reveals a few tempeh cooking tips!
