Notes

  • Boiling the tempeh pieces before cutting and marinating them ensures the marinade flavors will absorb into the tempeh.
  • Marinate overnight for the best results; the longer, the deeper the flavors. 
  • Turn the covered container over throughout the marinating process to soak up the majority of the marinade.
  • The more marinade the tempeh absorbs, the deeper the flavors.
