Bacon With a Vegan

Ingredients:

• 1 tablespoon oil neutral tasting don't use extra virgin olive oil-too strong
• 1 14 ounce package firm tofu cut into strips to resemble bacon
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce I use Bragg's Aminos
• 1 teaspoon liquid smoke
• 2 teaspoons brown sugar I might try molasses next time
• 2 tablespoons nutritional yeast
• fresh ground black pepper

Steps:

• Heat oil into large skillet
• Fry bacon strips on low heat until crispy on the outside To do this
• place them in the pan in the oil and let them simmer for about 10 minutes
• without turning Now they are firm enough to turn easily
• Turn them and simmer another 10 minutes on the other side
• Mix the soy sauce with the liquid smoke and brown sugar
• stirring to disolve sugar
• Remove skillet from heat
• Pour the liquid smoke mixture into the pan and move the tofu around so all sides are coated Place back on heat
• Sprinkle the nutritional yeast
• covering all sides If you like
• sprinkle a little freshly ground black pepper on now Stir gently until the liquid is gone and the tofu is covered with a crispy coating of yeast Enjoy
