No, I've only made meals with store-bought tempeh. Sorry.

I didn't realise that you could make it at home, as it is fermented.

yes you can ferment it with an appropriate starter in an incubator or a place with 28 to 30 degree temperature

That is a bit too complicated for me.

I made it once, and it came out ok, but none of us likes any tempeh very much, so I didn't repeat it. I used this method.

I have cultured tempeh. It is supposed to grow mold. It *is* a mold. It is the mycelium of a domesticated edible fungus. It looks like a grade school science experiment when it is done. The ones in the store are vacuum packed so you dont see the fluffy white fungus like with the homemade. I started another thread about how I grow it at home in a dresser drawer with a heating blanket in the winter and outdoors in the shade in the hot, dry California summers.
