Ingredients
- ¼ cup maple syrup
- ¼ cup low sodium soy sauce*
- 1 Tbsp nutritional yeast
- 2 tsp onion powder
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 block extra firm tofu**
- Vegan Butter or oil (for pan frying)
*Liquid Aminos can also be used
**Place tofu in freezer at least 24 hours before preparing. Freezing the tofu gives it a tougher texture and makes it easier to cook without falling apart.
These tofu “bacon” strips will soon become a favorite. Kids will especially love their sweet and savory flavor. While these delicious strips taste nothing like meat-based bacon, they are a delectable addition to any breakfast.
- Completely defrost the tofu and drain as much water out of the tofu as possible.
- Whisk all ingredients, except for the tofu, in a wide shallow dish.
- Cut the tofu into 8-12 strips. Dip each strip into the mixture and allow to soak up as much of the mixture as possible. (You may have a little mixture left over; it comes out a little differently each time, depending on how well the tofu is drained.)
- Fry the tofu in a small amount of vegan butter or oil over medium-high heat for about 3 minutes on each side or until crispy.
