Soya beans have been around for thousands of years. In the
East especially China the Chinese have turn this wonder beans into many kind of
foods; solid, semi-solid and drink like the Tofu, Tocu, Soy milk and the like.
On the island of Java the Javanese on the other hand has created a unique food
that is known as Tempe. Tempe is a fermented soya bean originally wrapped in
leaves especially the banana leaves. Now most are wrapped in plastic. Like all
the creation of the Chinese the Tempe is a nutritious food. Our family love soy
produce like Tofu, Tocu as well as Tempe and never a day that we are not without
these wonder vegetables. Even the young still in its Green Pot is lovely to be
boiled and enjoyed just like that. In short the Soya bean is one bean that is
packed with nutrition which provides nutrition for a healthy living; a wonder
vegetable indeed.
Above is a bowl of the Tofu dish cooked with the Tocu; it’s
not only nutritious but healthy as well. It such a simple food that could be
done in minutes and goes well with a steam white rice. I love it.
Have a nice day.
