Tempeh Bacon BLT

Thin tempeh strips soak up a quick soy, maple and smoked paprika glaze, then get pan-fried until the edges are crisp. It's not pretending to be bacon. It just does what bacon does in a sandwich, maybe better.

Method

  1. 1

    Slice the tempeh into strips about the thickness of a coin.

  2. 2

    Whisk the soy sauce, maple and spices in a shallow dish. Toss the strips through to coat.

  3. 3

    Slice the tomato.

  4. 4

    Toast the bread until golden.

  5. 5

    Heat the oil in a pan over medium-high. Fry the strips until dark and crisp at the edges, pouring the last of the glaze in at the end.

  6. 6

    Spread the toast with mayo and stack with lettuce, tomato and bacon.

Storage

The cooked bacon keeps 5 days. Re-crisp in a dry pan.

Good to know
  • Using seitan? Slice paper-thin and cut the frying time in half. It burns faster.
