Tempeh Bacon

I made tempeh bacon and I really like how it came out! I used Hot for Food's marinade for bacon but only made 1/4 of tempeh so reduced the marinade too.

(entire marinade)

1/2 C tamari

1/2 C water

1 tbsp liquid smoke

3 tbsp maple syrup

1 tbsp smoked paprika

1-2 tbsp coconut oil (for frying)

I put about 4 drops of liquid smoke and let marinade for abt 8 hours. I steamed them and then fried them. After I cooked them, which I should have done in a non-stick pan to get them more crispy, I put them back in the fridge with the leftover marinade. They came out tasty but with a very strong taste. I ate them as a BLT and it was delicious.

For next time:

- I would have steamed the tempeh for like 3 minutes before putting them in the marinade

- Fry bacon in non-stick pan

- Maybe marinated them for a little less and definitely don't put the marinade back onto them

I made them again, marinating them for only about an hour, and they definitely did not come out as flavorful... I don't think they were flavorful enough.
