Mmmhmmm....I agree, this is really something! I've never made tofu this way and am so happy I tried this. Love how quickly it goes together, and everything was in my pantry ready to go. I was a little worried about using that much liquid smoke (had a bad experience with some bbq sauce a few months ago), so I halved the amount. It tasted just right in the bowl, but after finishing the dish, I can see that the full amount of smoke would have been just fine. My 2 yr old and I finished off the entire batch of this together - the first time he's ever really liked tofu, so I'll be making this often. Thanks Sharon!

This is very good and like bacon very chewy. I used half brown sugar and half molasses. I used high protein firm tofu and sliced it very thin. I keep nibbling on them as I write and find that I'm liking it more and more. I'm guessing I would use these as a snack (kind of like jerky since it's rather chewy) since I think it's a bit too chewy (maybe because I sliced it thin like bacon?) for a sandwich. All in all, very tasty.

WONDERFUL recipe! I've been meaning to make my own veggie bacon for a while, and your recipe was the first one I chose to attempt at home. I liked this one a lot becasue it did not require marinating overNIGHT. I was able to slice my tofu quite thin, (a bit thinner than shown in the pictures posted here) and as a result I was able to get it very crispy in the pan. The marinade sauce is sooo simple and sooo good. I almost was tempeted to leave out the nutritional yeast, but I am glad I didn't!! That REALLY made the flavor perfect. I snacked on three pieces of these all morning, and then made some into a veggie BLT! Thank you! I will definitely make this again ^_^

This is much more delicious than the store-bought vegetarian bacons. It's easy to make, and my meat-eating husband liked it too. I used extra-virgin olive oil (I like the flavor and use it in everything), Braggs Aminos, and molasses. I omitted the liquid smoke since I didn't have any on hand and made this on a whim. It was delicious without it, but I'm sure it would taste more bacon-y with it. Next time I might use Central Soyfoods smoked tofu instead of investing in a bottle of liquid smoke. Anyway, this is a great recipe. Thank you for posting it , Sharon!
