Instructions

Cut tempeh into your desired shape (triangle or cubes are common!).
To remove the bitterness from the tempeh, place the cut tempeh into a steamer basket over a pot of boiling water, cover, and steam for 10 minutes (optional).
Choose your desired flavor and stir together all ingredients.
Add tempeh to a bowl or plastic bag, along with the marinade. Allow tempeh to marinate anywhere from 1 to 24 hours.
Fish the pieces of tempeh from the marinade and cook as desired (baked, air fried, or sautéed all work well with marinated tempeh!).

Notes

Tempeh can absorb flavors well, so feel free to experiment with different marinades.
Marinating for longer will enhance the flavors significantly.
