Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

-------- ------------ --------------------------------

1/2 cup soy sauce

1 tablespoon nutritional yeast flakes

1 tablespoon maple syrup

1/2 tablespoon liquid smoke

1/2 pound extra-firm tofu

 

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 nonstick 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 " 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 thin slices.
