Tempeh chips are not the deep-fried, thinly-sliced tempeh as most of us would think. Even though tempeh and tempeh chips have a similar fermentation process, they differ slightly in terms of ingredients. While most of us are not familiar with this Indonesian snack, Ethan has spent 6 months perfecting the recipe and creating TrulyGourmet<\/a> tempeh chips using quality ingredients which are unique to the local market, creating a business that has a greater opportunity to scale.<\/p>\n

Going back to his culinary roots during the pandemic<\/h2>\n

Growing up helping out at his family restaurant, Ethan worked as a chef in Malaysia and overseas for many years before he started a sourcing business in November 2019. When the pandemic hit, his ongoing projects were put to a halt like many other businesses. He decided to look into his passion for making tempeh back in 2018 when he experimented with tempeh making using various ingredients. However, with a short shelf life of 5 - 7 days, a tempeh business is difficult to scale despite the variety of tempeh he is able to produce with various ingredients. So, he settled on tempeh chips which have a longer shelf life and can be produced in big batches.<\/p>\n

Being the only person running the business, Ethan not only handles tempeh chips production in his own home kitchen, but also website designing, video production, product photography, packaging production and order management all by himself which he learned by himself. He had to figure out the best packaging material to make sure the tempeh chips are kept fresh for a longer period of time, besides sourcing for suppliers that suit his requirements in terms of quality ingredients.<\/p>\n
