Fungal Word Friday: Tempeh

Ok, sorry but my brain doesn't seem to be focusing today so Where I usually give a science word, today you get culinary genius; tempeh.

Sliced Tempeh

Tempeh is a food made by fermentation soybeans with the Mucoraceae fungus Rhizopus oligosporus and compressing it into a patty.
Preparing the patty for eating, it is sliced and then fried. It is eaten alone or really mixed into anything from chilies and stews to sandwiches and salads.
