Make BACON from Mushrooms with THIS TRICK

I make a LOT of mushroom bacon, mostly out of king oyster mushrooms, but I wanted to make an easier version... from a mushroom everyone can find... the portobello... now usually with the portobello mushroom people simply slice it up and throw it in marinade... that comes out good, but still very mushroomy.... I wanted to do it a new way.. a way that brought more bacon flavors and textures to this easy to find mushroom!
This is using what we learned in my last video about mushrooms..

[@shortymcfox2251]

I’m so thankful you tried this with a mushroom that’s easily accessible. I live out in the boonies and my closest store does carry the large portobello! Looked online for the king oyster mushrooms and way too expensive to order. Thank you for this option and will be making these this weekend!

[@SonofTheMorningStar666]

You can grow your own king oyster.

[@charlotteyapvegancooking2251]

This is genius! Drawing out water for a meatier mushroom bacon! 🔥👏🏻

[@SauceStache]

Thank you!!! It really does seem to make a difference in texture and flavor! ITs pretty cool, I would love to figure out a more specific way to measure the difference!

[@bzflote]

[@emmasgoodies]

I want to try this with porcini! That’s the easiest mushroom to get here! And it’s a bit like portabello, hopefully!🤣

[@SauceStache]

Oh I bet that would be awesome!!!

[@rayyanali4471]

Isn't porcini more flavorful than portabello? I've heard stories of people in Eastern Europe just avoiding portabello and going for porcinis and parasol mushrooms.

[@willcookmakeup]

What?! Bahah where do you live?!!! Porcini is the easiest for you to get? I don’t think I’ve ever seen them in a store not dried. Damn that’s pretty crazy, you’re very lucky

[@margarett_b]

Fresh porcini mushrooms are just the best. So much more flavour than oyster mushrooms but still an amazing, firm texture. Been forging these since I was a kid and they have always been my fave :D

[@definitelynotashark1799]

@@dolcemaddalena you'd have to rehydrate them, which doesn't give you the same texture or absorbent quality as fresh. Probably not worth it. However I think grinding dried porcini and adding them to the brine night work!

For the algorithm. You’re one of the coolest vegan chefs around, and I love how experimental you get sometimes.

Looks amazing! Can’t wait to try! One strange trick I have been using to replace bacon in sandwiches is sautéed mushrooms on super high heat and after they sear throw some salt, pepper and cook them for a minute in some bbq sauce! Weirdly perfect bacon replacement and I’ve tried em all! 🥓

Mommy warning! (Because I'd shout at a running child in kindness like every mother I know) Boy, use your cutting gaurd or I will ship you a steel glove! There's no time today for a trip to the hospital! Congratulations on your upcoming nuptials. You will have to make some kind of molecular gastronomic mushroom groom's cake. There has to be a way to tastefully incorporate magic mushroom powder and meat analog into the traditional fruit and nut confection. (But I can't wait to try this. Thank you! It looks delicious.)

@@lydialady5275 Around here these days you have no hope of seeing a doctor in the ER within 24 hours unless you are at the very brink of death due to the shortage of doctors and nurses and the huge number of unvaccinated people becoming desperately ill with covid and suddenly deciding the entire medical profession isn't so evil and stupid afterall. Lol

[@lydialady5275]

@@mustwereallydothis Here, we have a bandaid station. Please, don't have a heart attack or wreck your truck. The nurses and doctors are kind, but we have no new equipment. We also staff the ER on a skeleton crew- and I'm sure the security gaurd is also the maintaince man. And likely also the mechanic. Plus, they now want you to deliver your own newborn, because all the nurses have been sent to ICU because the nursing home had a sick patient that gave everyone influenza. They long ago shipped everyone at the VA home, or to another location, and it didn't help. And then, there is me. I cannot wear a mask because I can't breathe against the resistance. I would be given oxygen, but the supplies are short. Cuz dumb people think they should touch everything at the store. I have my own germs AND I still don't want them- which explains why I wash dishes and clean the toilet.

Mushrooms are my favorite base for vegan bacon!! Even just baked shiitake mushrooms I think have a bacon taste! 😋

For anyone interested... there are inexpensive cut proof gloves for mandolins on Amazon. I use a mandolin regularly for all kinds of unique and uniform slices. And the protective shield isn't always conducive to certain techniques like the one for this mushroom bacon. My family's favorite is eggplant bacon that's cut the same way to create thin flat strips.

Hey Mark! Long time viewer here! Let me say first that i love your content and your bacon series has been an inspiration. In particular the seitan bacon that was so mindblowing i've made it several times. I wanted to ask, since in that video you said that was by far your best Plant Based bacon, and in other comparisons you never bring it up, ¿have you changed your mind about it? ¿Or do you judge it separately from the others since it plays in a league of its own?
