Instructions

  1. For each marinade, add all the ingredients into a bowl and stir until combined. Alternatively, add all the ingredients into a air tight jar and shake until combined. You can either store the marinade in the refrigerator or freezer as is or marinade the tempeh (steps below). 
  2. Add marinade over tempeh in a freezer safe container or bag and toss until tempeh is fully coated in the marinade. Each marinade is enough for 1 8 oz package of tempeh. 
  3. Immediate Use: Refrigerate and let the tempeh marinade for at least 30 minutes (preferably overnight). 
  4. Freezing: Transfer the marinated tempeh to the freezer and freeze for up to 3 months. When ready to cook, place the frozen marinated tempeh into the refrigerator overnight or until completely thawed. Alternatively, place the tempeh in a bowl of hot water and change water as it cools until thawed. Now the tempeh is ready to be cooked! See this post to see how to cook tempeh.
