Title: Tofu Bacon
Categories: Blank
Yield: 1 Servings

Ingredients:

1 lb firm Tofu, cut into strips shaped like bacon 2 tblsp nutritional yeast 2 tblsp tamari/shoyu 1 tsp Wright's (or other brand) liquid smoke. 1 tblsp oil (something neutral, not olive or sesame) Fry tofu strips on low or medium 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. Turn them and give them another 10 minutes on the other side.

Mix the tamari/shoyu soy sauce with the liquid smoke first, then take the pan off the heat. Pour the liquid smoke/tamari into the pan and stir the tofu so all sides are coated, then sprinkle the yeast over all, stir some more, over the heat, until the liquid is gone and the tofu is covered with sticky yeast.

Try it. It tastes EXACTLY like bacon.

Another variation is to marinate the tofu in the tamari/liquid smoke mixture for several hours and then fry, but it misses a little bit without the nutritional yeast. Converted by MMCONV vers. 1.40
