We are in love with this tempe from . Look at how beautiful that looks! And the taste! 😋 Tempe is used in so many Indonesian dishes and is an essential ingredient for us. Tempe is fickle to make and we’ve tried many kinds here in the United States. Very excited to have finally found a maker that does it so well.
