Why Tempeh deserves more attention

Tempeh rarely gets the international recognition it deserves. The deeply spiced with galangal and lemongrass complexity is genuine, not simple, and the technique involved in using tempeh correctly takes real skill.

rendang from West Sumatra is consistently voted one of the world's most delicious dishes. I encountered it first in a Bali warung and that context helped me understand it properly. kopi tubruk is the natural accompaniment and the combination makes the case for the dish. If you haven't explored this cuisine seriously, Tempeh is the dish to start with.
