  2. 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. 3

    Immediate Use: Refrigerate and let the tempeh marinade for at least 30 minutes (preferably overnight). 

  4. 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.
