Non-soy tempeh uses chickpeas, black beans, or other legumes in the same fermented-cake format. Firm enough to fry and grill, with the base bean’s character showing through. A useful option when avoiding soy. Treat like soy tempeh in recipes—slice, brown, braise. Season assertively; some legumes read earthier than soy. Refrigerate and watch for sour spoilage the same way as soy cakes.
