Tempeh turns brown in a few days in the refrigerator. What is this? --Sobolewski 19:48, 13 Feb 2005 (UTC)

I think that's the culture that caused it to turn from plain soybeans into tempeh in the first place - it's just continuing to grow. As far as I know, it's fine to eat the parts with the spots; never had any trouble. CDC (talk) 05:49, 14 Feb 2005 (UTC)

It is either damp or fungus grow. If you fried them, it'll be okay. But since I'm in Indonesia, I wouldn't touch it, and buy a new one.

But spoiled tempe is used for flavouring gudeg.Aditthegrat 10:15, 12 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Recipes

• Is there a reason (policy or something) that there are no recipe links on this page? I'd like to add some but don't want to step on anyone's feet. Bposert 00:21, 12 December 2006 (UTC)

• G'day Bposert, Wikipedia is not a recipe book. However, Wikibooks has a cookbook where recipes are welcome, and we can easily add a link to those recipes. Actually, I've been planning to expand the tempeh page there into a recipe for making tempeh - perhaps you can beat me to it! Feel free to also add recipes for using tempeh, as separate articles.

• Thanks! Bposert 23:59, 15 December 2006 (UTC)
  • OK, there is now a recipe for making tempeh. Webaware 14:41, 20 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Spelling

Why does the article title have an additional "h" after "Tempe"? Correct Indonesian spelling for this word is "Tempe" without the "h". Since this is an Indonesian food, Indonesian spelling should be used, as used in the Indonesian version of wikipedia. 193.136.124.221 21:00, 25 July 2007 (UTC)

I agree with this opinion, but it seems to me that nobody on this side of the wiki cares much for authenticity. 125.161.201.158 08:39, 12 August 2007 (UTC)

I agree too, although I'm a Persian. But this type of bias is not unique to Tempe, all over wikipedia there is a clear Western bias, particularly on articles involving Asia and Mid-Asian articles. Kamasutra was an ancient Indian view of soul mates and love, out of all the lovely script, only 1 section talked slightly about sex, but now it has turned into a multi-million dollar sex scandal. Kamasutra has almost nothing to do with sex, but instead they choose the text's that emphasize on sex for translation. They don't bother citing Indian's on the subject, but cite dirty minded Israeli and American authors. Quiet opposite to Indian tradition, they wrote "Indian tradition includes following the "four main goals of life",[12][13] known as the purusharthas:[14] 1). Dharma: Virtuous living. 2). Artha: Material prosperity. 3). Kama: Aesthetic and erotic pleasure.[15][16] 4). Moksha: Liberation." citing Hopkins. What the f*ck does hopkins know about Indian tradition. Any Indian will tell you the 4 written above are the opposite to Indian tradition. This Wikipedia is more like Westernperspectivepedia. They want to sexualize everything. I won't be suprised if they soon said Tempe helps you with erections. --78.86.117.164 20:43, 22 October 2007 (UTC)
