Book description
Are you wondering how to re-use the soy pulp that you got after extracting your soy milk? Then, try recycling this pulp, also called okara, into okara tempeh! Okara tempeh is a delicious home-made fermented food, grown using the same ferment as for soybean tempeh: Rhizopus oligosporus.
Making fermented food is not always easy, and making okara tempeh requires slightly different conditions than for making soybean tempeh. This guide shows you how to easily implement the fermentation process. For each step, enjoy pictures, precise descriptions, and the key factors for success. In case of difficulties, a final section helps you find out what may have been the problem: was it temperature, moisture content, or oxygen availability?
After reading this book and experimenting, you will soon master how to make Rhizopus oligosporus happy, to grow this delicious fermented food successfully!
