TOFU " BACON"
A very quick and easy breakfast treat for vegetarians (vegan if you use oil). Smokey, salty and crispy strips of tofu for the former bacon lover. (Of course tofu will never taste the same as bacon, but if you give this a try you may well be pleasantly surprised!)

Steps:
- Heat frying pan over medium high heat.
- Add butter or oil.
- Thinly slice tofu into strips. The thinner you slice these, the more flavour they will absorb and the better they will crisp up.
- Place tofu in the pan in a single layer.
- Sprinkle evenly with soy sauce (or tamari) and liquid smoke. You can give the pan a little shake to coat evenly, but it should spread well.
- Fry the tofu until browned and crispy on both sides, turning occasionally. The more you cook it, the crisper it will be, the better it will taste.
- Optional - drizzle a little maple syrup over tofu once cooked.
- Serve with pancakes, eggs or in a "B".L.T. Enjoy!

Steps:
- 1. Slice partially thawed tofu into very thin slices. In a small bowl combine nutritional yeast, oil, syrup, tamari, salt, liquid smoke, salt and garlic powder and whisk until combined as much as possible.
- 2. Pour bowl mixture into shallow baking dish. Place tofu slices in same dish so they are submerged in the liquid. Marinate for at least five minutes, but no longer than overnight. Be aware, tofu marinated too long will become delicate and easily break.
- 3.Heat sunflower oil in medium cast iron skillet and fry tofu, about three minutes per side. Drain on paper towels and serve.

Steps:
- Place the tofu, yellow onion, green onion, red pepper, garlic, mushrooms, tomato, and bacon in the bowl of a food processor. Season with fish sauce, red wine, parsley, salt, pepper, curry powder, mustard powder, dill, and ginger; puree until smooth.
- Place an egg roll wrapper on your work surface with a corner pointing towards you. Spoon 1 to 2 tablespoons of the tofu mixture in between the center and bottom corner of the wrapper. Fold the corner closest to you over the top of the filling, then fold in the left and right sides. Moisten the top corner with a little water, and roll up tightly.
- Heat a few inches of canola oil in a large pot to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Fry the wraps a few at a time until the center has cooked and the outside is golden brown. Drain on paper towels and serve hot.

Steps:
- Slice your tofu.** Lay slices on a couple of layers of paper towels. Add another paper towel on top and press gently to extract some of the moisture from the tofu.
- Place a large non-stick saucepan over medium to medium-high heat. If your burner runs hot like our high BTU burner on our gas stove, opt for lower - medium or even medium low. You know your stove best! You want to fry your tofu nicely, but you don't want your oil to burn.
- Add olive oil to the pan.
- When the oil is hot, lay the tofu slices in a single layer in the pan. The tofu will bubble, sizzle, and maybe even spit a bit so use caution, but know this will result in the easiest, most delicious tofu bacon of your life! Cook until light golden on one side, 3-4 minutes, then flip and cook the other side until light golden, 2 minutes or so.
- While the tofu cooks, mix together the soy sauce, pure maple syrup, and smoked paprika in a small bowl.
- When both sides of the tofu are golden and the slices are beginning to stiffen and look drier around the edges, reduce the heat to low. Reducing the heat is important to prevent burning! Then pour the soy sauce mixture over the tofu and toss the tofu slices until coated in the mixture. Cook, tossing gently, until the soy sauce is evaporated, about 1 more minute. Transfer to a clean plate to cool a bit and then enjoy!
- Tofu bacon keeps, refrigerated in an airtight container, for 3-4 days. But once it sits for a bit, it does lose its crispiness. Still delicious! Just not crisp anymore.

- Drain the tofu. If not using vacuum packed super-firm tofu, wrap it in a clean towel and stack a heavy object (like a cast iron pan) on top of it to press out excess liquid. (Or, use a tofu press if you've got one). Leave the tofu to press while you measure out the other ingredients.
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Place a metal rack on top of a baking sheet and lightly grease it. (If desired, put a piece of parchment on the baking sheet to catch drips, for easy cleanup).
- Cut the tofu into thin strips, approximately 1/8 inch thick. Take each tofu slice and dip it fully into the marinade, then place it on the prepared baking rack. Repeat until all of the tofu slices are dipped, spacing them out evenly on the rack. Set aside the excess marinade.

- Slice the tofu into 1/8 inch slices and add to a large ziplock bag or shallow dish like a pie plate. (the thinner you cut the tofu the faster it cooks 1/8 of an inch is perfect or slightly larger but no thinner than 1/8 of an inch)
- Whisk all the marinade ingredients together in a small bowl. Heat in the microwave or small pot until just simmering, you want it really hot. Pour the marinade over the tofu, making sure it’s evenly distributed. Let cool then remove the air from bag and seal. Marinade tofu for 30 minutes to 1 hour or overnight if you wish, turning the bag a few times. (For quick marinade version see Notes*)
- Preheat oven to 400° Spray a large non stick baking sheet with cooking spray (no parchment paper)
- Place the tofu one by one on the baking sheet. Baste each one with a little more marinade. Spray the tops with cooking spray. Bake for 10 minutes.( For pan fried or air fryer method see Notes*)
