Hope you guys are loving this remix of an old classic. Try this at home, it's so easy and insanely good!

[@lynnstevens6339]

I made this for my brother once and he devoured it. I have also made bacon bits using the organic coconut flakes from the bulk barn. (They are larger flakes than normal coconut flakes) The texture was fantastic, it had a slight coconut flavor but I really liked it!

[@flatandmotionless4608]

Did you get your lips done?

[@EdgyVeg]

FLAT AND MOTIONLESS like two years ago 😂 literally just wearing lipliner

[@Amina777]

Edgy Veg I tried it and it was delicious! I found it easier to dip the rice paper in water, cut in half, and fold into 3.

[@adrianevans7252]

Have you tried using Tofu paper/sheets which is also available at most Asian stores. It's thicker than rice paper & Yuba (tofu 'skin' that forms on soy milk) and is fry-able. Cut the sheets with a knife into rashers.You can use the same marinade as your video.

[@denislaurin169]

Wet the two rice sheets and put them together before cutting with scissors. Works great, no fracturing.

[@thecarbonprop]

I also wet each one before putting them together. Then use a pizza cutter. Works really well.

[@EdgyVeg]

You are a genius!!

[@name.terrie]

That's exactly what I do.

[@senang2day524]

That's what I was thinking too! Why cut the wet paper sapart and put them together afterwards, instead of putting them together before cutting?

[@HanonSama]

Lol, same

[@AlinaTowers]

My suggestion after making this: 2 layers comes out a bit salty but 3 sheets is perfect. Less salty, thicker, and it bubbles up and curls nicely!

[@bee8396]

I've been making my rice paper bacon exactly like this for a few years now! With the exception of I dip the sheets, stack 2, then use a pizza cutter to cut out strips at once (It's much faster!)

[@BucketsLukas]

This is impressive, and almost scary how close it is to the one I remember. The flavors are great, I added some extra salt to reflect a salty bacon, I’m so happy, now I can have a BLT without a poor little piggy being harmed. Thank you so much.

[@BethGrantDeRoos]

We have made the old recipe so often and we take two sheets of rice paper together, put in warm water for a few seconds and then cut and then use a rectangle pan for the marinade to lay each slice in to coat, which is easier than using a bowl.

[@xxAlisonpaige]

What I do is wet the sheet, fold it in half, then cut strips. Then they're already doubled up :)

[@EdgyVeg]

YOU !!!! That’s genius!!!!

[@xxAlisonpaige]

@@EdgyVeg pretty sure you're the genius making all these tasty recipes 😊

[@edwardlee2637]

Love your BLT

[@lb6110]

@@EdgyVeg - OR....wet 2 sheets, add 1 on top of the other, then slice!

So clever, Thank You!

OMG 🤣🤣

[@lindieriksen1968]

Love that you’re willing to update old recipes and take feedback!! ❤️

[@EdgyVeg]

Always !

[@RanndiMarie01]

I got this idea from Simnett Nutrition, but he suggested to marinate a block of tofu in the same marinade and cut thin slices of it and add it to your BLT to make it more hearty and add some protein. You actually can’t even tell it’s in there and it helps to fill you up and keep you satiated!

[@helloyou7610]

Definitely agree.. I thought some avocado would be gr8

[@HeatherMelcer]

Good idea about the tofu, a restaurant ner me does this also using Tempeh and it is great as a TLT and Avocado sandwich

[@nicci_freitas3347]

Made it and love it! Much cheaper than buying faux bacon. Plus, we KNOW what's in it!

[@EdgyVeg]

It’s cheap AF!

[@kosmicsyd7922]

You could also take some of the rice paper bacon & Pulse it in a food processor to make bacon bits! It would be great on vegan Mac n cheese, salad, avo toast, whatever your heart desires

[@bluemelii]

The accuracy of not using the rice paper after that one time 😂😂😂

[@EdgyVeg]

It just sits there, for like, YEARS 😂

[@lottatroublemaker6130]

Edgy Veg - It’s a great thing to have sitting in your pantry, so much neat yhings you can make with it. You can even roll it around sweet stuff and fruit... 😋😋😋

[@bluemelii]

[@MyNameisMessenger]

I actually have a package right now that is close to ten years old. Not even kidding.

[@ElectricPictureCo]

Yes. Your comment made me LOL! So true.

[@AaronMcKinnon91]

I'm not vegan or even vegetarian, but I love your videos for showing me these cool ways to create substitutes for foodstuffs I eat often and inspiring me to give them a real shot. And to me, a test of good bacon is the humble BLT - I'm so glad you agree that it is a special sandwich for its simplicity!

[@freyap9897]

i love your little intro of the rice paper 😂 mine has been in my pantry for about a year, same scenario, and i didn't know if i could use it. Can't wait to make this !

[@bskinner51207]

Your bacon marinade is my go to. It's so delicious. I found that you can just cook it on a flat top griddle too. I tend to do that more often than the oven method just because I usually make it in big batches and I can do more at once. I cook it to just shy of how crispy I want it because just like the oven method, it gets crispier as it cools. Also the marinade makes an amazing tofu or tempeh bacon if you omit the nooch.

[@mj-yo7vt]

I use this marinade for tofu bacon as well

[@Eidann63]

How do you keep this "bacon?" Can it be refrigerated or is that unnecessary?

[@bridgettejester3455]

I just wanted to share that I tried this recipe and it was awesome. By far the best bacon substitute. I also would like to that I got randomly inspired to add the marinade portion to TVP. If you want a nice protein twist you can use the marinade portion on TVP to make bacon bits. They do take a bit longer to cook but they turned out equally delicious. Thanks so much for this recipe!

[@EdgyVeg]

I’m so thrilled to hear that! 💕💕💕💕

[@HanonSama]

IDK why I added this to my favorites since this is literally how I make rice paper bacon, except I wet two sheets of rice paper together before cutting....but here we are!

[@flumpaustin1994]

Smoked paprika worked well in place of liquid smoke when I made aubergine bakun.

[@rachelmontgomery4274]

When we make it at home, we put two rice paper sheets together in warm water, lay them on a cutting board, and cut pieces with a pizza cutter. It's much faster, and so easy!

Wow! I am not began yet but seeing this makes me more optimistic that I could pull it off! Thanks!

It doesnt even need oil: just air fry or toaster oven until brown. It has the taste of turkey bacon. Great chrunch. Less browm makes great chips. I use tofu skins.

I hadn't thought about using the air fryer. Thank you.

Omgoodness! Made my first 2 trays of this recipe. I dipped in water and then in the mixture.

All in all I ate both trays within hours lmbo...Thank you!

[@BucketsLukas]

I had to bake it longer too. But it was surprising good, I added a bit of salt to get that salty bacon flavor I remembered, I only did that cause the only soy sauce I had was low sodium. It’s weird cause I know it’s much healthier, but I still felt guilty eating it all. 😂

Been playing with your chickn jackfruit recipe recently, twice in two weeks and looking forward to the next time... It has had a similarly rave reception. Gonna try this vgbacon remix as it looks fun. You can have an awesome salty mapley crunchy sandwichy experience without bringing those beautiful piggies into the equation.. that's a win win situation right there! Peeeeace ✌️

[@Pmomma100]

Great job I love rice paper bacon. And my thing is if anyone before they became vegan loved turkey bacon, for goodness sake, they are going to dive into this rice bacon like it is the next best thing to sliced bread! It is flavorful may not be porky but like you said it's a really great replacement. I just made some out of starch from washed Seitan and that was so freaking good too.

oh... you could watch Gary Yourofsky's Best Ever Speech....its not very graphic but makes so much sense( there is just one scene of some cruelty but its very short and Gary refers to it a lot about how the footqage they showed was ''not the excepttion but the norm'''- and then it just clikcked and it made me go vegan on the spot. And since that happened Ive lost loads of weight and my arthritis AND varicose vein disappeared. Oh, and my eczema disappeared also... so if you want a challenge and many health blessings I would highly recommend watch the FULL version of Gary Yourofsky's Best Ever Speech....its brilliant !

I'm a vegan.💖 I tried this recipe. Nothing tastes like bacon but bacon......banana peels carrots mushrooms coconut seitan etc.... It's just like non dairy cheese and nutritional yeast. There are no real substitutes. I've accepted my lifestyle dietary changes. I enjoy eating vegan without substituting foods and save money. 🤗 Substitute foods ARE quite expensive. 🤑
