recipe review- Better Than Bacon vegan version recipe

[Guest guest]

made this on Sun., just cooked some today. my tofu had been frozen and was a 14

oz package so doubled the marinade and slices could be thinner. Very, Very, Very

good flavor! I used a brand of soy sauce new to me without tasting it first -

too salty - next time will use salt reduced soy s. or half water. soaking

remaining strips in water to fix that. the flavor is great tho, way better than

the bacon subs I've bought ( much more economical too)

Thanxs so much for this recipe, portia, it's one I'll be making up often!

 

peace,

Angela

1/2 cup soy sauce

1 tbs nutritional yeast flakes

1 tbs maple syrup

1/2 tbs liquid smoke

1/2 lb. extra-firm tofu, drained

 

Mix the soy sauce, yeast flakes, maple syrup, and liquid smoke together in a

shallow container. With a cheese slicer, shave the tofu into very thin slices.

Marinate the tofu in the soy sauce mixture for 1 day or more.

 

To cook, heat a lightly oiled, heavy skillet or non stick griddle over

medium-high heat. When the pan is hot, fry the tofu slices until they are

golden-brown and almost crispy on both sides, scraping underneath the slices as

you turn them with a sturdy spatula. Turn several times during cooking, and cool

in the pan (the " tofu-bacon " crisps up as it cools).

 

This makes excellent " BLT " sandwiches and can be crumbled or diced and added to

other dishes for a bacon-like flavor. Makes about 40 slices
