Do I smell bacon? No. It’s better than bacon. It’s:
Fake Bak’n
Serves 4
8 oz. Tempeh
1/3 cup water
1/3 cup soy sauce
1-1/2 Tbsp. Maple syrup
1-2 tsp. liquid hickory smoke
1/2 tsp. garlic granules
2-4 Tbsp. safflower, sunflower, soy or olive oil for basting
Steam tempeh 20 minutes if package does not indicate
that it is “PRE-COOKED.” Slice tempeh into four (4) 1x5” pieces, then
slice each strip vertically into 4-6 thin strips, and place in a
bread-baking or small casserole dish.
Whisk next 5 ingredients together and pour over tempeh strips. Cover and
refrigerate 4 to 24 hours. The longer the tempeh marinates, the more
flavorful it will become.
Coat bottom of large skillet with smaller amount of
oil. Cook 1/2 of the strips over medium heat, frying approx. 3-4 minutes
on each side. Transfer cooked strips to plate lined with paper towels.
The strips will brown more as they cool.
