This is going to be a short post about how to make vegan tempeh bacon.
The marinade I’m using here is a base for all kinds of vegan bacon: tempeh, tofu, eggplant, carrot or rice paper.
Slice tempeh into thin pieces, but not too thin so they won’t fall apart.
Whisk all ingredients in a small bowl.
Place sliced tempeh in airtight container and cover with marinade. Keep in a fridge overnight.
Heat oil in a pan over medium heat. Fry tempeh for few minutes on each side. Transfer to a plate lined with paper towel to absorb extra oil.
Best to use right away. Honestly speaking it’s very difficult to resist eating whole bunch at a time.
