Tempeh is essentially a traditional soy product that originates from Indonesia. The soy beans goes through a fermentation process that binds the beans together to form a cake. Unlike Natto, a fermented soybean snack more commonly found in Japan, it doesn't stink. For us living in Southeast Asia, tempeh is cheap readily available at markets and are found in many Malay dishes such as Laksa, Sambal Goreng and Lauk Lodeh. In fact, you can simply cut them into thin strips then coat them with some salt and flour and egg and toss them into the deep fryer to make a yummy snack.
The idea of using tempeh for a Mexican-based food is ingenious! It's not only yummy, but healthy and vegan-friendly too! You can find the recipe here.
I will definitely try to make this one day. The tempeh is baked not fried, hence I am curious to how it'll taste! Yum.
