I Tried 3 VIRAL VEGAN BACON RECIPES (Gordon Ramsay, Bread Bacon & Rice Paper Bacon)

Yup I never liked bacon, still dont

[@rudetins]

Yes I don't get it either 🤣

[@DA-js7xz]

Wasn't a thing until the Listeria epidemic in the late 2000s. The pork industry had significant losses, so their marketing campaign was all about bacon. Humans are simple creatures.

Yessssss

[@Maiasatara]

@@DA-js7xz - I’m sorry. You don’t think bacon was a “thing” until the late 2000’s? There was a whole world before you got here and I can assure you. Bacon has always been “a thing.”

[@jenfaulman]

When I make rice paper bacon, I find it easier to get the 2 sheets wet, stick 'em together, then use a pizza cutter to slice into strips. Works like a charm!

[@chrisstepleton4761]

Thanks for the idea!

[@j_me]

yes omg, I was hoping someone would comment this! also guys, you can make it wavy just by pushing the bacon strips on the pan before you bake them!

[@CheapLazyVegan]

pizza cutter! genius!

[@Shortypants1215]

Yup! Same here!

I just thank you so much for showing imperfection on your channel. You help me feel so much better about my kitchen fails 😭.

[@CheapLazyVegan]

[@rinoak05]

Yeah, I never really cared for bacon in the past but for some reason, I have watched every single vegan bacon recipe on youtube. Probably won't make any of them, but they're fun to watch.

[@CheapLazyVegan]

haha they're definitely entertaining!!!

[@julietteboser1202]

My vegan bacon…very thinly slice a block of firm tofu, fry until slightly golden. When all the tofu is fried, put it all back into the pan and add soya sauce, smoke and maple syrup. It caramelizes very quickly so you have to work fast flipping the pieces. Voila, bacon. I also crumble it and keep in the fridge to sprinkle on sandwiches and salads. Fantastic. Note: shut off fire alarm or have windows wide open…it can create a lot of smoke. Lesson learned. Lol. To me, this is so bacony that I don't need to complicate such a simple technique. It is so delicious that I have to hide it from myself to keep it long enough in the fridge to use on recipes I originally intended it for.

[@stepicorn3486]

I always just slice tofu thin, put it in a marinade like the ones you had and fry/bake it! So easy and much more protein!

[@bridgetleonard6702]

I never really missed bacon but I recently saw a video about how to make rice paper bacon so I tried it and it was very good.

[@lindaobrien2659]

Do you have a link to the recipe? Please 🙂

[@iridaselini]

I'm so glad that there is another human who exists that doesn't press tofu. Ain't nobody got time for that!

Right!

[@michaelfoley906]

Really? Just stick it in a press some time before you use it. It is basically zero effort.

[@missbeans]

You're so fun to watch haha! Thanks for being real!

[@daniellebarker7667]

Something that will up the cured porkyness of all vegan bacon is the addition of just a bit of ground marjoram in the marinade. Works great in vegan deli slices , too. On Gordon's fakon...lose the hot stuff...up the smoke...and turn the marinated tofu into a paste then spread it Thinly in random places....it makes a World of difference.

[@CheapLazyVegan]

yum!!

[@taggsy2002]

Very interesting and good to see 3 types! I like your frankness and honesty. It’s not easy to make and messy and don’t taste anything like the real bacon which used to be one of my breakfast favorites. I might still try it out though, but really admire your courage and love of alcohol!

[@thejblover53]

“Congratulations on all the creativity” lmao that made me laugh

[@Spookdog]

yeah I'm in the "liked bacon but didn't make it my whole damn personality" boat. I really don't miss bacon. I guess there are only a few things I really miss from before I went vegan tbf, but bacon definitely isn't one of those! although, I used to eat turkey bacon a lot as a teen, and I kinda would like to find something that tastes similar. I've never had a BLT but now I wanna find vegan bacon and try one :o

[@carolynmilheron2301]

Rose, just a suggestion. I saw someone make the rice paper bacon and they soaked one piece, layed it on a cutting board, soaked the other piece, laid it on top of the other one and smooth it out with your fingers. She then took a pizza cutter and cut the strips. Hope this helps.

[@soursugar3253]

To me a lot of the “flavoring” aka marinate just taste like salty soy sauce. For me some good bbq sauce and a lil liquid smoke does the trick.

[@saharansnowman95]

When I went VEGAN Bacon was the one thing that I really missed. After about 4 and a half years I found a really good VEGAN BACON and there is only one place I can find it in TEXAS

[@billiseakins8349]

Would using coconut aminos be less salty? I agree with you about buying bacon!

[@BijoudeBexar]

Sub Braggs aminos, less salty than soy sauce. Coconut aminos are sweet, so taste before adding more sweeteners.

[@Tribble_Mama]

Yeah, I tried the Gordon Ramsey bacon too. It’s was good, but not sure it’s worth all the effort either. But I think if you have an oven proof cooling rack, or something like that where there would be air flow around the whole piece, I think it would turn out better. But yeah, impossible to flip without destroying, if made as the recipe directs. (How many people do you think even tried the aoli recipe on the same page? Everyone probably just there for the bacon) Honestly, my favorite is carrot bacon. I mix up the marinade in a jar, slice up the carrots with a veggie peeler, and let them sit till I’m ready to bake. (And any leftover marinade just gets put in the fridge in the jar, to use another day. Horsy for less dirty dishes!) Also, the recipe I‘ve used has tahini in the marinade. And I like the flavor it adds. (And keeping the syrup ratio down, so it’s not too sweet) The carrots are easy to scrunch up in the pan while baking, without completely ruining. Which helps them from burning so fast, and you still get a little bit of a bite to. And carrots are so much easier to find, and cheaper, than a lot of the other options I’ve seen. Making it very accessible, even for meat eating family and friends.

[@thecontinent9192]

What’s wild is I literally just made vegan bacon this week for the first time lol and I did it twice with rice paper, I messed up the first time but pretty good the second time around.

I feel the same as you. Bacon was good, but I don't crave it now. The most I'll do now is make tempeh bacon for TLTs or to put on pizza. The texture is totally different, but it gives a nice smoky flavor and adds that protein.

I didnt use to love bacon much but I did enjoy country ham ( the salted version from the deep south) still havent found a vegan version of this yet. if you can find a vegan version to make of country ham ( see recipes from Mississippi) that would be appreciated

[@marylmartin671]

would love to see more vegan desserts

[@rowan6650]

When it comes to texture and taste, even pork bacon isn’t consistent. Lots of expensive bacon tends to be thick cut and have smoked flavors while less expensive bacon is more thin and crunchy and has less flavorings (at least in my experience growing up in the Southern USA lol). So honestly, just make your vegan bacon however you like because it probably resembles some type of bacon.

I am so with you on the idea that these bacon recipes are too much fuss. I did though just try adding a bacon marinade to my Good Earth bacon and it made it much tastier.

I have emailed the company to get a definite answer as there are different answers from different sources which is so misleading 🙄

[@loisneish4261]

Kahlúa and Kahlúa Flavors and Espresso Martini cans are not acceptable for a vegan diet. For clarity we do not add animal derivatives into our products, however, upon a thorough investigation two years ago, we discovered that one of our sugar suppliers uses a process that is not considered vegan-friendly. While this is a common practice in the industry, it unfortunately also means we are currently unable to call our Kahlúa suitable for a vegan diet. We have now initiated a project to bring in a supplier that can guarantee their refined sugar is 100% vegan/vegetarian friendly. Please check back with us in 6 to 12 months and hopefully things will have changed. Let me know if there's anything else I can help with.

Bacon was the reason it took me so long to go vegetarian

I'm not sure if the Kahlua is yours but Barnivore says it's not vegan, due to the sugar refining process.

I've watched several Gordan Ramsay vegan bacon YT videos (thanks, algorithm!) and other creators did press their tofu, used a lot less than you did, and it stayed lumpy. I wonder if not pressing it let it spread out more, because yours looks very smooth and stayed together. I kinda wonder if a more paste-y tofu, like soondubu, maybe with a little extra nooch to absorb the moisture, might be even better? Idk, I am way too lazy to try and vegan bacon isn't terribly expensive if you're the only vegan in the house and don't eat it very often. Also, real pig bacon is also a pain to cook. I still have to cook for omnivores and have bacon maybe 2-3 times a year.

I'm not vegan. I love bacon. But, I also love your channel. Because you talk about protein and satiating food. Of course if vegans ate only potatoes and rice, it stands to reason that's why so many people say they failed. If you don't include fat, protein or anything besides starch in your diet, can you really call yourself surprised that your diet didn't work out? Any extreme diet that doesn't include multiple food groups must be more than an afterthought.
