Tofu as a Bacon Substitute by Miyoko Shinner

blog post 2 12013One of the advantages of tofu is its taste can be easily changed.  Miyoko Shinner, a talented chef, cookbook author and instructor, shows us how to cook and flavor tofu so that it smells and tastes like bacon.

About 3:45 into this video, Miyoko shows us how to cook and flavor tofu with soy sauce, nutritional yeast and liquid smoke to make it smell and taste like bacon.  I love her measurement techniques.

In this video, Miyoko uses the tofu-bacon as a bacon substitute in a BLT sandwich.  But, her tofu-bacon substitute could be used in any recipe as a replacement for real bacon.

You can find more recipes and techniques in Miyoko Shinner’s books and her website.
