5. Think of eight questions covering the text. Put them to your group-mates.

Tempeh

Tempeh is a fermented soya bean paste made by inoculating cooked soya beans with the mould Rhizopus oligosporous. This mould forms a mycelium holding the soya beans together and is responsible for the black specks in tempeh. Tempeh has a chewy texture and distinctive flavour and can be used as a meat substitute in recipes. It may be deep-fried, shallow-fried, baked or steamed.

Miso

Miso is a fermented condiment made from soya beans, grain (rice or barley), salt and water. Miso production involves steaming polished rice which is then inoculated with the fungus Aspergillus oryzae and left to ferment to give an end product called koji. Koji is then mixed with soya beans which have been heated and extruded to form strands, together with salt and water. This is then left to ferment in large vats. Miso varies widely in flavour, colour, texture and aroma. It is used to give flavour to soups, stews, casseroles, and sauces.

6. Fill in the proper prepositions. Soya Sauces

True soya sauce, called shoyu, is made … fermenting soya beans … cracked roasted wheat, salt and water. Tamari is similar but slightly stronger and made without wheat (and so is gluten-free). Fermentation for shoyu and tamari takes about one year. Much … the soya sauce available … supermarkets is not true soya sauce but is made by chemical hydrolysis from defatted soya flour, caramel colouring, and corn syrup without any fermentation process.

7. Pair work. Tell your group-mates about soya.
