Description
Some fake bacons are hit-and-miss, but because bacon is the one thing most people miss when switching to a vegetarian or vegan way of life, it’s expected a fitting alternative is created. This recipe not only offers a completely meat-free bacon, but one that is low in fat and calories. To mimic the intoxicating aroma that we have come to love in the real thing, we used a combination of liquid smoke and paprika to achieve similar results cleverly using rice paper.
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons sesame oil
- 2 tablespoons reduced-sodium soy sauce
- 2 teaspoons maple syrup
- 1 ½ teaspoons miso paste
- 1 teaspoon liquid smoke flavoring

- Stack 2 pieces of rice paper and soak them in a bowl of cold water until slightly soft and pliable
