Guest guest Posted November 14, 2005 Report Share Posted November 14, 2005 This does taste like bacon but I would let it marinade for a little bit. I have a recipe that is basically the same but he tofu is sliced much thinner. I think for 1/2 lb of tofu you should get about 24 slices. You probably would need a mandoline for that.

Guest guest Posted November 14, 2005 Report Share Posted November 14, 2005 Our favorite veggie bacon recipe comes from the Compassionate Cook. I'm not certain if we follow it to the letter but that's the original source of it. !/2 cup tamari (recently I've tried 1/4 cup tamari and 1/4 cup Bragg's) 1 Tbs maple syrup 1 Tbs nutritional yeast Whisk the above together. Slice a block of tofu into about 24 pieces (this is your choice, thinner slices make crispier " bacon " thicker slices make chewier bacon.) Marinate overnight for best flavor. I fry mine on a cast iron skillet until crispy. I freeze the leftover tamari mixture to use another time.

Guest guest Posted November 14, 2005 Report Share Posted November 14, 2005 Carol, your way sounds more " baconish " . The recipe seems to need a bit of tweeking, which is why I haven't tried it. I would also drain the tofu completely, freeze it, thaw it and then marinate it. I think it would improve the texture and give it that desired chewiness.

Guest guest Posted November 16, 2005 Report Share Posted November 16, 2005 Wow! That sounds just about perfect! I'll have to try that. Right now I have some Yves veggie bacon strips but I would love to make my own with tofu.
