Making The Ultimate VEGAN BACON - Literally the KING of PLANT BASED BACON

I was recently introduced to the Seitan Appreciation Society on Facebook by commenter Nigel and his recipe for seitan vegan bacon! It looked so good I had to try to make my own version of it!

It's never about the taste though. He always says "this looks perfect" or "the texture is great." Nobody is stopping you from eating meat. If you want bacon eat bacon.

[@SauceStache]

I do talk about the taste. Quite a bit actually hahaha what are you talking about @VulcanMushroom

I made something similar last year, just experimenting I put coconut oil in the white bit to make it fattier - worked really well!! :D

i was just looking thru the comments to see if this idea would work. So glad it was successful

[@nunyadambidniss]

Just eat real fukkin' bacon, lmao MMMMMM god this thick cut is GOOOD ^_^

[@mwoods1052]

@@nunyadambidniss awww… this is VEGAN bacon, not pig meat. Why would you post this when it’s clearly not animal based? Eating pig is disgusting, IMHO, and I have not touched the stuff in over 50 years. I believe it’s why I do not have high cholesterol, heart disease or any kind of sickness related to eating meat. Haven’t touched beef or anything with a hoof in over 50 years and am healthier than anyone I know. But many of us still like the smoky taste of bacon. Thank goddess there’s many recipes using plants only.

[@Bushiey]

Your production is really good. You deserve to be top 10 on youtube for sure.

[@SauceStache]

Wow thank you soo much!!

[@mwoods1052]

Yes, this is the best vegan bacon recipe I’ve found. Next time I will add just a tiny bit more seasonings and flavorings, just a bit. It was difficult slicing into thin slices even when semi-frozen. So, I sliced the best I could and put them between sheets of parchment paper and used my rolling pin to flatten better. Stacked them up in layers with the parchment paper between them and froze like this. Worked great! Thanks for another interesting and good recipe!

[@samuri2011]

Avant-garde vegan made something like this a year or two ago. I like the addition of salting the top of the loaf.

[@kweightthree]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/rHapYWCpn8qKo9k Yup.

[@satoshiketchump]

This one is simpler though

[@melt2899]

I coulda sworn Gaz salted it and froze it to cut thinner slices too. The layers are even the same. Two layers of each. It's nice when youtubers give credit to where the credit is due. Edgy Veg made Gaz's meatless balls and she referred him and posted his original recipe and he was greatful for that.

[@psilocybina_]

@@melt2899 Gaz didn't freeze it, he boiled it ;)

[@jbdelicious4801]

Gaz recipe is fine, this is simpler. But to be clear Gaz didnt invent it just his twist, so doesnt need credit. I have been making seitan like this for yrs.

[@nigelfrazer-ashbrook533]

Hey Mark, thanks for trying out the bacon and for the mention, much appreciated😁

[@michaelbalfour3170]

Do you have more stuff like this?

[@Lena-rk3ph]

you're a rockstar! this recipe flopped the first time i made it because a) it was my first time dealing with seitan and b) i did some unnecessary experimenting. the second time i was WOWED. thanks so much for the recipe! its awesome.

[@vinitasamarasinghe5135]

Could not wait to make this so I made it without the liquid smoke (which will arrive tomorrow)! Turned out okay. Needs to be cooked really well else it is a bit slimy. Bet it will be fantastic with the smoke. Can't get ready made vegan bacon where I live. It's been over 10 years since I've had some. I'm wondering why I never thought to look for it before. Thanks so much for the recipe.

[@niellahell]

[@reddibounce]

So…I’m loving your channel and all the recipes! I just made this but I didn’t have two of the strong flavors ( mushroom seasoning & marmite). So I did a little research and found some replacements to try. I added white miso, nutritional yeast, tamari, a tiny bit of molasses, and I added a tsp of beet powder. Oh and both sweet paprika & smoked. And some onion powder. 🤷‍♀️ I have no idea what it will turn out to be yet it’s freezing now! I love playing with ingredients but I am not a vegan though trying to find some tasty plant based additions to use more regularly! This is great fun! Thank you!

[@DiVaHCharM]

hi! just like you i'm not vegan but i love trying new recipes and finding plant based substitutes...i'd like to try this recipe but i dont have the mushroom seasoning and the marmite, just like you. If you'd like, let us know if it was good with your substitutions :) Thanks!

[@reddibounce]

@@DiVaHCharM hi! Yes it turned out well! I plan on picking up the actual ingredients called for and make another bacon block though to see the difference! The nutritional yeast was subbed for the mushroom seasoning & the miso was a sub for the marmite. I additionally added a touch of molasses because I think of that flavor in some cured bacons. I’m finding lots of great recipes to eat more plant based!

Firstly, love your content! Your enthusiasm is so contagious when you cook! I also love how it's clear you have a love of meat flavours but are enjoying the challenge of finding a way to make tasty vegan meat substitutes! I wanted to ask if you could make some gluten-free meat replacements or if you could give any suggestions of what to use in place of vital wheat gluten? I know that might not be easy but figured you seem to love a challenge so I would ask! As I would love to make my own Seiten, but my gut would absolutely hate it sadly! :( (pure gluten = a nightmare for my body lol :S) You've been inspiring to me for sure as I try experimenting in my cooking with vegetarian/vegan food so I can impact the environment less! Anyways Thanks for your fun content! :D I hope you see this!
