Vegan Tempeh Bacon


My mother found me this recipe from a video created by vegan chef and author of The Joy of Vegan Baking, Colleen Patrick Goudreau.
It's such a simple recipe too!

Start with thawing your tempeh in the refrigerator overnight or a few hours before working with it. Many people find that if you steam your tempeh before handling it, it curbs that bitter taste, and i've found that to work well for me, so cut your tempeh into thin strips (not too thin where they'll fall apart) and steam them for about 10 minutes.

Once they are done steaming, they should appear a lighter color than before. Then place your strips into a large bowl to  cover with a maple and tamari marinade.



Ingredients:

1/4 C Gluten-Free Tamari
1/4 C 100% Pure Maple Syrup
1 TBS Liquid Smoke
1/2 C Water

Pour your mixture right over the top of your strips, and either soak for an hour, overnight, or while in the pan to make it even faster. Cook your "bacon" in a large skillet pan over medium-high heat until caramelized and brown on each side.
Remember, the longer you marinade your strips, the deeper the flavor. Enjoy!
