Indonesian immigration to America spans from the 1940s to the present. Pushed by economic struggles and pulled by opportunities for freedom and education, Indonesians chose America as their new home. Most immigration waves occurred in the 1980s due to violent revolutions against ethnic groups and the government in Indonesia. When Indonesians immigrated to America, they brought aspects of their culture including traditional Indonesian food like tempeh.
Tempeh is a soybean cake formed through a fermentation process using the mold Rhizopus Oligosporus. This process breaks down the soybeans and allows the mold's spores to wrap around them into a solid structure. Tempeh is high in protein, supports digestion and overall gastrointestinal health, and

Nathan Phillips Along with the masses of immigrants that have come to America, Indonesians have also brought culture and food to their new home. Pushed by economical struggles, and famine and pulled by the power of freedom and education, Indonesians chose America as their new settlement. Indonesian immigration spans throughout the 20th century reaching its height in the 1980s. Most immigration waves from Indonesia are due to violent revolutions against ethnic groups and the government. When Indonesians came to America they brought cultural items like music, clothing and food including the traditional dish tempeh. Tempeh is a soy bean cake similar to tofu. The beans are binded together with a mold called Rhizopus Oligosporus. It has a squishy, firm texture and has an earthy, nutty, like aroma. It uses the process of fermentation. Fermentation is the breaking down of a substance by activity of a microorganism. The process starts with Rhizopus Oligosporus being maintained in its ideal thriving environment (Temp, Ph). As it remains in this state its enzyme productivity will be at its maximum. The soybeans are broken down when the Ph level is reduced by bacteria growth. This reduction in Ph allows the enzymes to break down fats in the soy beans. As this process occurs the spores can wrap around the beans making a solid cake like structure. Tempehs health benefits include rich in protein, gastrointestinal benefits, healthy fats, and vitamin B. While the soy beans provide protein and vitamins the mold makes minerals more accessible and supports digestion.
