I Made Vegan Bacon From Rice Paper

[@MerleONeal]

Thanks again to The Edgy Veg for the recipe! You all seriously have to try this one

thank you for being an active voice for all the pigs out there💖 they deserve to be heard. on another note, this recipe looks absolutely delicious and considering i haven't had good bacon in like 5 years now, im definitely gonna give this a try!

I love your rice paper bacon

[@BurritoMaster]

It's amazing!

[@nomedenol2237]

I have actually tried this recipe and your theory is correct by doubling the amount of rice paper that you use so 4 instead of 2 and reducing the time by 1 minute it does come out chewier which I like. Also I find easier to use a rotary cutter as it makes cutting the rice paper so much easier.

[@SwissMissss]

Is a rotary cutter like a pizza cutter? I'm gonna Google it because if it is, I'm gonna always call my pizza cutter a rotary cutter and feel smarter lol😆 I've never heard of that before your comment so I'm intrigued

[@pampampam88899]

nice thanks for the tip! i also have a lot of rice paper and I really want to try this!

[@nomedenol2237]

@@SwissMissss assuming you've already Googled it by now but just in case you haven't a rotary cutter is a tool used for crafting it's meant to cut rubber, leather, it's used for crafting and it's kind of like a pizza cutter but the blade is really small and razor-sharp😊. Hope I've been of some help.

[@SwissMissss]

@@nomedenol2237 Aww thank you so much for replying 😊 Yes, I did actually end up going to Google lol! I seen it is for crafting and such, but I still want one🤣 I'm a collector of random useful items, so this seems even cooler than a pizza cutter to be honest😆 You definitely were of service though, because I couldn't tell that it had a smaller blade etc just from the pictures on Google. Thanks again and have a great week🌻

i don't know if it was only me, but i wanted aria to taste it with his carnivore taste buds. i seriously wonder what he thinks, and this vegan bacon reminds me of a resturant that i love that makes vegan bacon taste so close to actual bacon it surprised me.

[@yellowsparklefish337]

The bacon I want to try the most is bacon made from starch! Sauce Stache made a video about it, it looks amazing and allegedly has both crunch and chew. The video is called "This might be the world's best vegan bacon". I'd love seeing you try it!

[@earthwanderer]

The let's get rice into it/let's get to bacon jokes were ELITE and nobody can tell me otherwise 😌😌

[@MerleONeal]

THANK YOU

[@fairholmka]

If you take it out of the oven earlier, you can get it soft, chewy and still crunchy. You really have to watch it and test it in the last minute or two of baking. I also use bbq sauce instead of liquid smoke.

[@JustPeachyVibeyVibes]

I make these and it's so much better when you double the rice paper. Also, brush the marinade, then cut it for a much less tedious experience. Love your vids Merle, they're such a treat! :)

Ok, let me spill the tea here: Candice (Edgy Veg) has said a few times on Instagram that she doesn't like Goodful. According to her, the reason is that they copy other people's recipes without giving them credit. Now here we are, credits have been given a thousand times during this video, and I really hope they'll eventually be able to make peace again: love both Merle and Candice! 💚

[@user-nn2du3jj4w]

Goodful always credits!!

[@lgee8383]

Candice isn't very nice anyways.... all vegan recipes are passed down from somewhere so....

[@biancaneves3346]

As far as Merle's videos goes, I always see her giving credits. Not sure about Buzzfeed and other Goodful content..

[@chenmae9747]

Yeah. But does one make up for others.

[@EdgyVeg]

I love Merle! and love that she always credits!

[@y3rdua901]

I love this recipe. So glad someone else is replicating it. More pieces of rice paper you stack together, the greater the chew. 1-2 pieces are very crispy. Also a pizza cutter makes it so much easier to make those 🥓strips!!!

[@idobelieveinnargles]

I have been making this recipe for a few years now, and it's amazing. You can adjust the level of chewiness by changing the baking time and/or adding layers of rice paper.

[@Jiminie53421]

Omg I haven’t made it to the end yet but I have a ton of rice paper at home so I really hope it actually works!!!

I wonder if these "bacon marinades " is something that could be as mass produced as soy souce for example! I bet it'd be easier to buy a set of marinade and pre cut paper, boom boom and you've got a bacon 🧐

This recipe is amazing 😫 I found that if you brush extra marinade on one side of the “bacon” before baking it’ll be chewier! I like brushing one side of it so one side was chewier and the other was crunchier!!

Tipp for the lazy loafs: use vegan bbq sauce and at a bit of neutral oil/sugar to taste. Way more easier if you can't get liquid smoke.

[@sweetcaramelsmile]

I make this when I have time because I'm glutenfree. I add Applewood smoke seasoning and a touch of tomato paste to my marinade.

[@user-wx5gr7hi7z]

Is bacon not always glutenfree or are you also vegan?

I wonder now if you can do the same with re-hydrated extra wide rice noodles. You can just break those down to length before you re-hydrated them in boiled water if you don't want to bother with trying to cut them.

[@batty_babette]

You should try it again and do what sauce stash did! He took a chopstick and swirled it on the bacon so part of the marinade would come off and make some parts more chewy. I still haven't made it myself but hoping to soon! It's been on my mind for way too long lol

[@ashokazuni9966]

This is my go to recip for vegan bacon it's so good. You can cook it for less time if you want it to have more chew. I have always disliked the fatty bits on pork bacon and liked it very crispy so this recipe it perfect for me

[@tazzytess]

I used my toaster oven and baked it on 350° f (or 176.67° c) for 6 minutes. It turned out really good. I just got to put less liquid smoke and change the soy sauce to tamari.

Literally just stumbled on this. Looking forward to watching

[@lemonnguy]

this looks really fun, though i wonder if it'd have been easier to cut into strips if instead of dunking the rice paper in like that, you instead start with one edge and quickly circle the paper in your hands (so the water coats the paper on every side) so it doesn't get as soggy/soft as quickly

[@Bennetliz00]

Rice paper bacon was created by Danish vegans Kasper and Karina at veganer.nu. Your rice paper bacon strips look great, Merle. Maybe putting coconut flakes or some other chewy veg in between the rice paper layers might work? Would be interested to see that one.
