Number Of Ingredients 9

1 (7.5 ounce) package smoked firm tofu, frozen and thawed
1 tablespoon nutritional yeast
1 tablespoon water
2 tablespoons maple syrup
1 dash liquid smoke flavoring
2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
1 teaspoon onion powder

This is the most realistic vegan bacon I've ever tried. It's crispy, smoky, and has the perfect amount of chew. I will definitely be making this again.

I've made this veggie bacon several times and it's always a hit. My family loves it and they can't believe it's not real bacon.

This recipe is a total lifesaver! I'm allergic to pork, so I can't eat regular bacon. This veggie bacon is the perfect substitute. It's so delicious and I can finally enjoy bacon again!

I was really excited to try this recipe, but I was disappointed with the results. The veggie bacon was dry and tough. I think I'll stick to regular bacon next time.

This veggie bacon is a great way to add some plant-based protein to your breakfast or lunch. It's also a lot healthier than traditional bacon.

This recipe was a total flop. The veggie bacon was soggy and flavorless. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what went wrong. Maybe I just don't have the right touch for cooking vegan food.

Not bad! I was skeptical at first, but this veggie bacon actually turned out pretty good. It's not exactly like bacon, but it has a nice flavor and texture. I'd definitely make it again.
