TRY THIS—TOFU BACON, LETTUCE, AND TOMATO SANDWICH WITH HOMEMADE SRIRACHA

Ok. I admit it. I miss bacon. It’s been almost 25 years since I gave up eating meat and I’m perfectly fine with that…until I smell bacon. I’m not really into all of those imitation meat products. They’re usually so over processed that I end up feeling pretty weighed down after eating them…plus they DO NOT taste like bacon. Like seriously. Not even a little bit.

So recently I started searching the interwebz for a tofu bacon recipe. Once again the web came through. I found a recipe that I really liked. I did things a little bit differently from the original and I love the result. Just to be fair, nothing tastes like bacon except bacon, but this is a pretty delicious alternative. Give it a try!

Ingredients

For the tofu bacon:

firm tofu

1 tbsp maple syrup

2 tbsp soy sauce

1 tbsp chipotle sauce (or homemade sriracha)

½ tsp smoked paprika

Black pepper

1tbsp oil

bread

romaine lettuce

sliced tomato

 Directions

Cut the tofu into 4 thin slices.

• Press the tofu – place the tofu in a single layer between two kitchen towels. Put a heavy cast iron skillet on top of the blanketed tofu. Let it stand for several minutes in order to press as much water out as possible.
• Combine the maple syrup, soy sauce, chipotle sauce, smoked paprika, and black pepper.
• Transfer your pressed tofu to the baking dish and allow the marinade to totally coat the tofu.
