Vegan Bacon Recipe #148899

If you were to use this in a BLT sandwich and replaced the bacon with it, you would never know the difference! My kids are bacon lovers, but now they prefer this. It doesn’t look quite like bacon but it tastes the same. by Elcowgirl

25 min | 5 min prep

SERVES 3 -4

• 1 lb firm tofu, cut into strips shaped like bacon
• 2 tablespoons nutritional yeast
• 2 tablespoons soya sauce
• 1 teaspoon liquid smoke
• 1 tablespoon oil, something neutral, not olive oil

1. Fry tofu strips on low heat until they are crispy on the outside. The best way to do this is to lay them in the pan in the oil and let them sit for at least 10 minutes, simmering. They should turn easily after that.
2. Turn them and give them another 10 minutes on the other side.
3. Mix the soya sauce with the liquid smoke first, then take the pan off the heat.
4. Pour the liquid smoke/soya sauce into the pan and stir the tofu so all sides are coated.
5. Sprinkle the yeast over all, stir some more, over the heat, until the liquid is gone and the tofu is covered with sticky yeast.
