How to Make Tofu Bacon
The number one tip for making crispy delectable tofu bacon is: you've got to press it! The tofu, that is.
Pressing the tofu ensures it will release any extra moisture so it can crisp up in the oven or on the stove. You can use a nifty tofu press or try this trick for pressing tofu without any fancy equipment.
Next, you'll need a marinade. We prefer those that blend sweet and savory flavors which remind us of the real thing.
Then, of course, comes the cooking process. Some cooks chose to bake their tofu bacon while others prefer pan frying. It's really up to you.
