Bacon With A Vegan Recipes

VEGAN BACON

Steps:

• Combine soy sauce, liquid smoke, water, smoked paprika, garlic powder, and nutritional yeast in a bowl, then stir with a fork.
• Pour 2 tbsp of the marinade into a small bowl (to marinate the tofu) and the rest on to a large plate. (This will be used to dip your strips of rice paper.)
• Drain and press the excess liquid out of a block of firm tofu, then crumble 1/4 of the block of firm tofu into the bowl with 2 tbsp of the marinade and let it soak while you prepare the rice paper.
• Cut the rice paper into long strips about 1 1/2 inch wide with kitchen scissors. (a little wider than you want the final strip of bacon to be since it will shrink a little when it cooks.) You can layer up to 4 sheets on top of each other when you cut them to save time.
• Preheat your oven to 400°F(204°C).
• Spread 2 tbsp of oil on a cookie sheet. (or line it with parchment paper for oil-free)
• Dip a stip of rice paper in the marinate quickly. Don't let it soak and get soft, just get it coated with the mixture.
• Lay the strip on the oiled cookie sheet and sprinkle with about 1-2 tsp of crumbled marinated tofu.
• Dip another rice paper strip in the marinade and lay it flat on top of the first. (It will not stick to the bottom layer at first. Don't worry, they will fuse together and seal the tofu inside once it cooks.)
• Repeat this process until your sheet of full of bacon strips, but they are not touching each other.
• Place the cookie sheet in the oven and bake at 400 degrees F for 7 minutes.
• Take out of the oven and flip each piece and then bake again for about 7 more minutes until the edges start to curl up and it gets crispy.

BACON WITH A VEGAN!

Steps:

• Heat oil into large skillet.
• Fry "bacon" strips on low heat until crispy on the outside. To do this, place them in the pan in the oil and let them simmer for about 10 minutes, without turning. Now they are firm enough to turn easily.
• Turn them and simmer another 10 minutes on the other side.
• Mix the soy sauce with the liquid smoke and brown sugar, stirring to disolve sugar.
• Remove skillet from heat.
• Pour the liquid smoke mixture into the pan and move the tofu around so all sides are coated. Place back on heat.
• Sprinkle the nutritional yeast, covering all sides. If you like, sprinkle a little freshly ground black pepper on now. Stir gently until the liquid is gone and the tofu is covered with a crispy coating of yeast. Enjoy!
