after FOUR miserable, horrible failed attempts over the past year or so, i finally FINALLY finally made tempeh from SCRATCH!
::rips off shirt/runs around block::
GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARR!!!!!!

here it is after 32 hours of incubating in my gas oven over the pilot light:

tempeh

and here it is, in all its' GLORY:

tempeh!

beeeeyoteeeeeful!!!!!!!! but here is the money shot:

tempeh sliced

gawjus. just gawjus.

i may have taken it out of incubation a little to early. the mycelium (white stuff) isn't really THICK but i don't care. it is a firm little cake, just like storebought tempeh. it has a lovely mushroomy scent. and since i actually didn't fail this time i can simply repeat the steps i took to make it and MAKE MORE! woot!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
