In ancient China, it was believed that the nutritional power of the mighty, protein-rich soy bean needed to be "tamed"....Tempeh, the Indonesian soy-based protein food, might be lesser known than Tofu, but it's one way of taming the golden bean. Vegan chef James De Burca launched De Burca's Tempeh in 2022, the first commercial Tempeh producers in Ireland. Using beans from France to produce Tempeh is one way of keeping food miles down while going plant-based, he says. James whips up a Thai Larb, Tempeh and Aubergine Involtini and Tempeh Bacon to prove its versatility.
