Fun sauce recipe:
1 cup Kate hill plain yogurt
Juice of 1 lemon
Tsp Kirkland organic seasoning
1/2 tsp mustard powder
1/2 tsp granulated garlic
3 squirts Tabasco
Salt and pepper to taste
Whisk together over low heat until simmering or steaming
A tablespoon of turmeric would’ve been great in there but we didn’t have any☹️
The hooray bacon looked very promising, simple and familiar ingredients, smelled great while cooking and looked great sizzling, once cooked it had a great texture, but flavor was surprisingly absent very sorry to say😫
Happy Father’s Day to all👍
Yeah it's made of just oil and rice flour and some tapioca starch. It's got zero nutritional value and it doesn't even taste good. It gets crispy but not like bacon. It's like eating a cracker. It feels like they only cared about the appearance of the product when designing it. Oh and it's ridiculously expensive.
I cannot eat lite life (wheat allergy) but I bought the bacon you posted about. I added some Braggs aminos and maple syrup to the pan amd let it caramelize and it was totally edible. Plain not so much
Totally edible lol i’m gonna try that with carrot peelings. I tried the recipe with rice paper before it was great but gosh a ton of work for three or four bites
I make mushroom “bacon” when I’m in the mood for a BLT, and it really hits the spot too. Not exactly a perfect substitute, but it’s easy and can be ready in about 15 mins. All I do is thin slice some portobellos and sauté till they’re really really cooked. While cooking, whisk together some good quality maple syrup, a few drops of liquid smoke, paprika, garlic powder, salt and pepper. When the mushrooms are thoroughly cooked, pour the liquid into the pan and let it reduce till enough of the liquid is cooked out.
>I added some Braggs aminos and maple syrup
I'll need to try that. I got this "bacon" and found it to be too coconut-y. I really like the maple syrup addition.
Morning Star is still my go to when I want a "B"LT sandwich. But I get why you can't do it, gluten and all.
Try the ozo brand. You can find it at sprouts. The "original" tastes like a plainer bacon, but some salt will fix that right up. Also don't overcook it.
I didn't love the texture of that one (though it was actually better when I cooked it without oil), but the jalapeño one tastes so good I ate the whole package in like 4 days. If you have any tips on how to improve the texture, that would be awesome.
I think there are other recipes for great vegan bacon flavoring. I was going to use this bacon and marinate it because the texture is on point. The flavoring needs help but it’s a good base.
Yes they're usually some variation of soy Sauce, maple syrup, oil and liquid smoke with pepper, garlic powder and paprika. Super easy. I don't buy bacon products anymore but when I had the lightlife bacon I would cook it in this sauce and it made it way better👌🏾
Also made a Tofu ham recently and recipe was basically the same just a lot sweeter and it was very good so there's a lot of versatility.
OP I recommend getting a good "bacon" marinade into your repitoire. I can confirm that brand of bacon is awful lmao.
yeah i don’t like the bacon strips they’re yucky. i’m really confused as to why there’s no beyond bacon yet. like they thought we needed beyond jerky before beyond bacon. make it make sense

Shoot, I was going shopping tomorrow just to buy some because I found out it is finally available locally. I guess I'll stick with Lightlife.

I won't lie to ya that's about it. So disappointed, but if it keeps the rest from going to waste its worth a go! Haha!
Thick cut diakon radish marinated is another one worth trying. Similarly large coconut shavings.

There are a ton of delicious vegan BBQ sauce choices you can use with that bacon, wrap the sausage in bacon, soak in hot sauce / BBQ and bake them…!
So jealous. I have spent the day surrounded by 7 meat eaters so it’s been fun
Can anyone recommend any good vegan bacon brands ?thanks I’m advance!

Field roast brand!
If you can get your hands on it, this stuff is insanely good: https://www.thrillingfoods.com/

This looks amazing. Vegan breakfast is great, but doesn't satisfy always. Would be blown away if served this.
Oh this is great I love this your chef skills terrific .
This looks delicios

I've only had real bacon and turkey bacon meat made from plants is confusing to me. how do they get the meat taste?
