A lab recipe from EPFL that turns okara, the wet pulp left from soy milk and tofu, into a tempeh-like cake with the tempeh mould Rhizopus oligosporus. The okara is soured with vinegar, sterilised, partly dried to 70 % water, mixed with three times the usual starter and held at 30 °C for 48 hours in pierced bags.

Amounts from a sourceLaboratory conditions chosen by the study (Koptelova et al. 2024); not a commercial recipe.
Okara
Fresh from Migros Industrie and frozen within hours; 82.4 wt% water as received[koptelova2024]
Vinegar
Mixed into the thawed okara to lower the pH and keep bacteria out[koptelova2024]
Rhizopus oligosporus starter (commercial)15 g per kg of okara
The supplier advises 5 g/kg for soybeans; okara needed more[koptelova2024]

At a glance
A lab recipe from EPFL that turns okara, the wet pulp left from soy milk and tofu, into a tempeh-like cake with the tempeh mould Rhizopus oligosporus. The okara is soured with vinegar, sterilised, partly dried to 70 % water, mixed with three times the usual starter and held at 30 °C for 48 hours in pierced bags. Made in 5 steps over 2 days. The longest step, incubate until the mould binds a cake, takes 2 days (Koptelova A 2024) and runs at 30 °C (Koptelova A 2024). Rhizopus oligosporus does most of the fermenting.
Unlike tempe gembus, which is made from pressed okara wrapped in leaves, this lab recipe sours, sterilises and part-dries the okara, then uses a measured dose of starter three times the soybean dose. The study reports each choice it tested, including the ones that failed. In a 2022 Taiwanese study of soybean residue (okara) tempeh, a different recipe, autoclaved okara inoculated with 5 % R. oligosporus at 30–33 °C grew bright-white mycelium in 24 h and 48 h, and sporangia turned dark with longer fermentation [hariyanto2022].
Okara with chickpeas (Luya, Switzerland)A company product that ferments okara together with chickpeas; the study cites it but gives no process.
Safety
Okara spoils fast because it is so wet. The study notes that plain okara does not survive 48 h at 30 °C, while the fermented cakes did not spoil in that time.
Part of an EPFL study, published in Chimia in December 2024, on turning wet food side streams into food. The same paper describes a Swiss start-up that dries brewer's spent grain. A 2026 Thai lab study fermented okara at about 60 % water and 30 °C with five fungi; the Rhizopus cakes were ready in 24 h (Farniga 2026).
