OK, since you said so, ginger carrots it is! 
What are you fermenting today?
- Thread starter ORChick
- Start date
I'd like to experiment with beans and grains to make tempeh.
Would I be able to use a commercially prepared soy tempeh for the starter, if I can't locate tempeh starter? (Such as the way we are able to do with yogurt)
I'm not interested in this as a meat analogue, but a way to nutritionally enhance a bean/grain cake with culturing and fermenting.

I can't help you, maybe someone else will chime in with instructions. I don't use soy other than a tiny bit of tamari or miso because of a doctor who told me to read this: http://www.westonaprice.org/soy/index.html
You can read for a week on that site.....just on soy!

I don't use soy at all, not even miso or Braggs, either. That is why I am looking at other beans and grains for this homemade tempeh.freemotion said:
Soy tempeh seems to be the only tempeh available at our big box health foods stores. I am only interested in innoculating the Rhizopus from a soy tempeh. After that the soy tempeh goes in the garbage.
Just wondered if the transfer was doable.

Got it! Whew! I was all worried for your thyroid there. I gotta read more carefully. BBH has Wild Fermentation, maybe it is in that book.
ETA: My guess is that it is doable. Miso can be made with things other than soy, why not tempeh? Can't wait to read about the results!

Just waking up here... 
Now what is it that you need? In Wild Fermentation I have (to name a few)a miso, a tempeh, a miso-tahini spread and a miso pickles and tamari recipe. I also have a recipe for Dosas and Idlis which is made with rice and lentils. All fermented.
You name it and I will look it up for you and post it.

Torture!I sent an e-mail to my friend who orders books at a discount as part of her job. She can order for herself (meaning me, too!) so I hope her supplier can get it.
