Description
A smoky tofu bacon with just a hint of maple sweetness. Add lettuce, some freshly sliced tomatoes,and a bit of my White Bean Mayo and you got a perfect BLT.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 block Extra Firm Tofu ((14oz))
- 1/4 cup Soy Sauce ((low sodium))
- 2 Tbs Maple Syrup
- 1 Tbs Nutritional Yeast
- 2 tsp Liquid Smoke
- 1 tsp Onion Powder
- 1/2 tsp Garlic Powder
Instructions
- Drain tofu , wrap the block in paper towels, and press under something heavy to remove as much moisture as possible. Let press for 15 minutes.
- Carefully slice tofu lengthwise into 1/8" slices. I have used a cheese slicer and a mandolin with good success. Just be careful.
- Whisk all remaining ingredients together in a small bowl to make the marinade.
- Lay the slices of tofu flat in large pan or dish and cover with marinade. Let the tofu marinate for at least 15 minutes, preferably 30 min to 1 hr.
- To broil: Place the tofu slices on a foil lined baking sheet and place under your broiler. Turn occasionally to brown both sides.
Note: Do not use parchment paper. - To pan fry: Place the slices in a non-stick skillet and cook on med-high heat until browned, flipping occasionally. If the tofu appears to be sticking, pour a little water in the pan to loosen.
