Can be used for any protein of choice like tofu and seitan too! How to Make Marinades for Tempeh To make the marinades, add all the ingredients into a bowl and whisk until combined. You can also use a mason jar and shake up all the ingredients together. Then add the tempeh to the marinade in a freezer safe reusable bag (remove all the air out) or shallow air tight container. Place into the refrigerator or freeze until ready to use. Marinade to Tempeh Ratio: Each marinade is enough for 8 ounces (224 grams) of tempeh, which is typically 1 package of store bought tempeh. You can of course, use more of less depending on how strong of a flavour you like. I should also mention that you can marinate the whole block of tempeh or after it's already been cut to desired pieces. I typically cut the tempeh into the shapes/size I like and then marinate it but you can also marinate the entire block as is. If marinating the entire block, I do suggest leaving it overnight. Marinating Time In the Fridge: I've marinated tempeh for 10 minutes, 30 minutes and overnight. They all work but obviously, the longer you let it marinade the more flavourful the tempeh will be. I do however, highly recommend the Tandoori Marinade and Spiced Yogurt Marinade to sit overnight for best results. In the Freezer: You can either freeze the marinade by itself or with the tempeh for up to 3 months. Any longer, it may start to taste freezer-burnt.
