Tempeh making

Assalamualaikum warahmatullahiwabarakatuh and good day to all.

Thanks to vegetarian, I am able to find this tempeh starter here in Australia. Yup. No other better protein source than soy. That's why I love them so much. Tofu, tempeh, soy sauce, soya drink... I love them all..

Anyway, cut the story short - I went through some website for tempeh making and I found this website : which they sell tempeh starter and can post it Australia wide. cool. The spores is travelling across Australia before it reach the soy beans in my home.. It cost me a total of $20 ($12 tempeh starter + $3 post + $5 soy beans) to make 1 kg of tempeh. Hope it turns out well.

You can watch how to make it here. You will need a tempeh starter (ragi tempeh : it's made out of tempeh itself ~kind of taking the spores out) , if you buy the tempeh starter, they come with their own instruction I suppose.

I though it was not going to be that hard. I mean it is well very cheap in Malaysia. So might as well I give it a try. Probably tempeh is sold somewhere around here in Canberra, but I don't know where and I thought why not try and make it instead.

It took me about two days preparing - they require lots of waiting period. And I don't bother to buy an incubator either. It's summer here now and I just make sure it is quite warm by putting it near the fridge (normally outside the fridge it is a bit warm)

here how it looks like now: the day after



I will be updating soon with a cooked one, but I am so happy that it is coming on its way already!! so excited.. huhu.. (hello, it is just tempeh..why get too excited??huhu.)

Till then, bubbye. will be updating more first-time try later. I tried baking last weekend too. hehe.


Love for Allah,

Amira.

M for Monday and Motivations (2) : New environment

Assalamualaikum to all muslims and hi all

Well, here is another monday short tip.

Sometimes you just need a boost to what is around. Today like any other Monday I am so not in a working mood. Thanks to my to do list I was available to do some things - in fact quite a number of things despite of my laziness. I am not the kind of peson who like musics when I am working with readings, journals etc. I love music when i cook or sew but not when I'm studying. But today, I had to. I put on my earphone and have some music blasting off my ears. Funnily it works. It kind of boost my energy. I am not reading though. I am searching over some reading materials and sorting out my references. So, it works. At least for the boost.

So I guess, it has something to do with changing your normal daily environment to get some fun and get your mood to do some works. Try changing work place if you can, but don't get too distracted.

Otherwise just have some musics up your ears. It's like to you out of the office environment for a while. I enjoyed it..

Nway, just the short boost today. Will also be updating my weekends with family soon.

Wassalam, Bubye,
Amira
