List of Ingredients




1/2 cup soy sauce
1 Tbsp. nutritional yeast flakes
1 Tbsp. maple syrup
1/2 Tbsp. liquid smoke
1/2 lb. extra-firm tofu

Recipe



Mix the soy sauce, yeast flakes, maple syrup, and liquid smoke together in a shallow container. With a cheese slicer, shave the tofu into very thin slices. Marinate the tofu in the soy sauce mixture for 1 day or more.

To cook, heat a lightly oiled, heavy skillet or nonstick griddle over medium-high heat. When the pan is hot, fry the tofu slices until they are golden-brown and almost crispy on both sides, scraping underneath the slices as you turn them with a sturdy spatula. Turn several times during cooking, and cool in the pan (the "bacon" crisps up as it cools).

This makes excellent "BLT" sandwiches and can be crumbled or diced and added to other dishes for a bacon-like flavor.
Makes about 40 thin slices.
