Quick Crispy Tofu Bacon
Quick Crispy Tofu Bacon, made with thin slices of firm tofu dipped in a savoury marinade, then pan fried to perfection in minutes.
Ingredients
Bacon
- 1/4 block tofu firm or extra firm
Marinade
- 2 Tbsp neutral oil
- 1 1/2 Tbsp soy sauce or tamari for gluten-free
- 3 Tbsp nutritional yeast
- 1/2 tsp liquid smoke
- 1/2 Tbsp maple syrup
- 1 Tbsp smoked paprika or regular
- pinch black pepper
- 1 Tbsp water
Instructions
Quick Tofu Bacon
- Whisk together all of the ingredients for the marinade in a shallow bowl.
- Gently press excess water from the firm tofu block with paper towel or a tea towel. Using a vegetable peeler, make 12-15 long thin slices of tofu from your firm tofu block (peel the long side of the tofu block-not the wider side).
- Dip each tofu slice into the marinade (or use a basting brush) and add the slices to an oiled frying pan on medium heat.
- Fry tofu slices for 3-4 minutes on each side until tofu is nice and crispy.
