Ingredients
1 (250g)
block
tempeh
1
tablespoon
soy sauce or tamari
1
tablespoon
olive oil
1
teaspoon
maple syrup or agave syrup
(adjust the quantity depending on how sweet you want the bacon to be)
1
teaspoon
liquid smoke
½
teaspoon
smoked paprika
½
teaspoon
ground cumin
½
teaspoon
Tabasco
salt & pepper
2
tablespoons
coconut oil
for frying
Instructions
Slice the tempeh in long strips as thin as possible but the slices shouldn't be too thin as they will start falling apart. So slice is very carefully.
In a small bowl, whisk the soy or tamari sauce, olive oil, liquid smoke, smoked paprika, cumin, hot sauce, salt, and pepper.
Take a container with a lid, and soak the tempeh slices for at least 10-15 minutes with the lid closed.
Heat coconut oil in a frying pan on high heat, add the tempeh slices along with the leftover marinade and fry for 2-3 minutes on each side.
Remove excess oil by laying the tempeh bacon on kitchen towels and serve.
Notes
Substitute Tabasco with any hot sauce
