That's so cool how instead of being like, "if I can't make this, no one can!" that they decided to share it with everyone. Sucks that they went out of business tho

[@SauceStache]

It really is awesome!! like I get why some companies don't do it, you never know if you can come back, but at the same time good for them for just releasing it anyway. They knew they had something awesome

[@msjkramey]

@@SauceStache I don't think releasing the recipe necessarily prevents them from coming back either. People love convenience foods. I've watched plenty of videos on fermentation and tofu making, but at the end of the day I still buy my kombucha, kimchi, and tofu. I love making my own vegan cheeses, but I still buy the pre-made stuff. I think it's a good PR move in case they ever get funding again because it shows that they're not gatekeeping, you know?

[@andrewwashere82]

​@@msjkramey Well said!

[@eugenetswong]

I agree with all that. In fact, I wish that they would have put their concerns out to the public earlier in hopes of somebody suggesting a new business plan.

[@eugenetswong]

@@msjkramey Good points about coming back. As it is, people can make their own bacon from scratch, or just buy raw bacon, but they still buy cooked bacon, so clearly, there is still a market for this.

[@Hobo_X]

In a way it's sad they released their bacon recipe, because by doing so they show how much they truly cared about their goal for why they're making vegan bacon to begin with. It sucks to see companies don't succeed that had real passion

[@mikebasketball11]

Sad, but also beautiful as it shows their true intent - they've paved the way for the future, even if they themselves didn't quite make it.

[@SriArtham]

I just saw this video and it really made my day - thank you Sauce Stache for keeping our dream going! - Sri, founder of Hooray Foods

[@Bloodshotistic]

So cool of you to release the recipe to the public. That's good ethical values right there.

[@margarett_b]

I had no idea they shared their recipe - this is so kind of them actually! So sad people this thoughtful don't get to make a life doing what they're passionate about! I am sure not many people will try to make this (it is still quite a lot of work) BUT it's awesome we have a resource like this as they've put a lot of time and expertise into developing the recipe!

[@victoriawinters2887]

I was wondering why I couldn't find this vegan bacon in stores anymore. I didn't know they went out of business. I'm so glad that they posted the recipe and you made a video on it. I'm definitely going to try this because I loved the Hooray foods bacon so much.

[@SauceStache]

You're going to love it!! if you head to their instagram they have their exact recipe as their last post! I liked messing with it a bit, this is a fun one to use as a base and build from!

[@u2u4ic]

I’m wondering (for half recipe) if you could skip the red/white steps if you don’t care what it looks like and just do it all one color? Or does the beet juice add flavor too??

[@TigerGreene]

Long ago, one of my favorite vegan restaurants closed down. I asked them for recipes and they were cool enough to give me some! Now any time a vegan restaurant closes, I ask. 😊 (some actually have their own cookbook already!)

[@SauceStache]

I had that happy recently and was told no, I totally understood hahaha but man I woulda loved a few of these recipes!

[@TigerGreene]

@@SauceStache That's a shame. Thankfully KZbin and the web are full of creative resourceful folks like you to reverse engineer amazing meals and share it with everyone! haha Out of curiosity, can I ask what was the restaurant you were trying to get recipes from, and/or the meal?

[@bcaldwell3849]

Didn’t realize how much I missed these bacUn videos until you started doing them again recently! Loving it! One can never have too much bacUn!

I confess that I have not tried your vegan bacon recipes because I am lazy; however, this recipe looks so easy that I'm gonna give it a try! Wish me luck!

[@jaymayhoi]

really cool they shared it!

[@SauceStache]

It's super cool of them!!

[@Dirgis-66]

So cool. No animal cruelty ❤

[@aroomofmIOwn]

Just fyi, a half sheet baking pan IS a standard size baking pan to a home baker. That's why your bacon turned out so much thicker than the original!

[@watkinsabob123]

I'm confused. So which size should we use?

[@pearljammies]

@@watkinsabob123​​⁠​⁠a half sheet pan is 18” x 13” , which is what your standard cookie sheet pan is that people will have at home. So use that with the recipe as written! the pan he used here was a half sheet, but he thought it was a whole sheet pan. “full sheet” refers to the size of a full sized sheet cake, which is 18” x 26”

[@nicholastate484]

I remember we served this at a college I worked at and its amazing

[@MouthBreatherCure]

Have you ever heard of Thrilling Foods, and their bacon? They cook theirs in a traditional smoker, and the creator of it was once a meat eater.

[@lorie4913]

I will look them up . Thanks for the tip.

[@twothirdsanexplosive]

I had Bakon recently at a couple vegan restaurants and it is great! My wife doesn't like smokey foods so didn't like it compared to other vegan bacons. They just more recently were able to beef up production and keep up with demand and enough to sell retail too

[@CH3R.N0BY1]

i love it when companies do this. if you're discontinuing something, whether it be a food or a program, make it open source so the people that like it can still have it

[@indoorkangaroo3431]

Im a little too lazy for making vegan bacon but so my go to is to slice up some halloumi and pan fry it, it gets a little crispy, a little chewy and adds salt as the bacon substition for a egg and bacon sandwich

[@kenreeve32]

It would be so cool if you cooked all of your different bac'n recipes (or maybe your top 5?) and invited your friends over for a taste test. I wonder which bac'n recipe they would rate the best?

[@sddavis9874]

OHMYBLOB! Hooray, vegan bacon was by far my favorite vegan bacon. Thank you so much for sharing this. I had no idea that they had shared the recipe.🎉❤🎉❤

[@calixtatepes]

I'm not fully vegan but there's a brand here in France that I love, I haven't bought real bacon since trying theirs, it's called "La vie" if you're curious to at least take a look online ! They have other vegan meat options too

[@HurricaneMalibu2012]

La Vie is amazing, they now do a sliced “ham” too, apparently

[@AudaL]

Wow i didn’t know they went out of business that’s cool they shared their recipe

[@murglebinter]

Love seeing your healthy transformation whilst also making amazing food.

[@debbieporter1513]

Cool ! I can’t wait to try them. Perfect timing on the sheets I need some

[@SauceStache]

They are soo good!! And these sheets are awesome. We just bought a second set!!

[@qualqui]

Great to hear about this company releasing the recipe, this improves my hope in humanity. 😊👍Sadly,my Nana Chayo took her tamale, Guanajuato style with her to her grave.😢

[@janerainbow22]

Still my favorite vegan bacon is Happy Veggie World. Heavily dependent on soy and wheat protein and MSG and other related amino based salts. The kind of processed food carnists love to hate on, despite the fact that the real thing is a class 1 carcinogen. This looks pretty good. I've made wheat starch bacon from left overs of wtf seitan, and feel I've improved flavor by adding a protein source. Get a m8x of chewy and crispy. Also add a touch of cloves, mustard and fennel.

[@LishaJoya]

ive tried every bacon recipe you have made...now this one i got to try since i dont eat pork anyways...but i do miss the taste of bacon. Ive moved to the south where they do not sell vegan/vegetarian things like i was accustomed to so this is a very welcomed recipe! thanks

[@emmoohoo]

Which ones have been your favourites?!

[@ghosttheoremproductions5469]

Hmm. This makes me wonder if adding some shredded carrot would help mix up the texture and give it some chew. Maybe a different veg but same idea. I'd definitely add vegimite/marmite to the light mix to give it more deep color and umami. Maybe try some molasses too.

[@JerryTheVeganRockstar]

Looks good. Leave it in sandwich sized sheets instead of strips.

[@eddiemasa77]

She just came for a great video idea! Rank the home made bacons!

[@johnnyli4702]

What's the best way to add about 3g of protein to each strip without drastically altering the taste and texture?

Daikon? Broccoli? Rice paper who'd a thought vegan bacon could be so diverse and tasty?!!😋👍🥓🥓

[@princess3193]

I wanted to try this bacon, but saw some bad reviews so I didn't grab it. Then later I decided to try it anyway and went back to the only store that I knew sold it and it disappeared! I had no idea they went out of business! I'm so mad I didn't buy it when I first saw it, but I'm glad they shared the recipe and I'm going to try this myself when I get some time! 😊

[@ErikaF8]

As soon as I saw that wrapping paper, I thought of Gma's house growing up. She only bought meat from the meat market & they would wrap it in white paper. As always, this was so cool to watch, but it was more crispy than I'd like. I would def have to figure out how to get that chewy-crisp. 🥓

[@SauceStache]

I definitely over crisped them haha 😂 you can cook them a little less than what I did and you’ll get the chewy crisp for sure!

Thicker is better. You could cut into cold cut shapes. Maybe a round Canadian bacon with a McMuffin or hollandaise

[@fgknows]

I tried this recipe and was extremely pleased with it. Although mine's was very thick. Why? I listened to you and I'm thinking, you used a full sheet pan. So I think my 9x12 cookie sheet will be the correct size, since you said you used a larger pan. Reading the comments I have learned that we both were wrong. You really had a 1/2 sheet and not a full size and my cookie sheet was really too small. 🤦🏾 BUT it still came out delicious! It fried up very well and was chewy like real meat. I have almost eaten the entire pan!! It keeps you coming back for more and more! Great recipe, THANKS!! By the way, will use the correct size pan the next time I make it👍🏾

Does it taste Coconut Oil ? I really don't like Coconut ... Can I replace by another oil ? Olive oil ?

[@Lelena4Lelena]

Is the beet juice just for color? I am allergic to beets so was wondering if i could just use water instead. I don't care about the color. Also can I use canola oil stead of coconut oil as I am allergic to coconuts. Thanks, great video as always.

[@di_nwflgulf3547]

And I used cassava ..yes fresh beet juice too...

[@soilmanted]

As someone who did not want to participate in causing animals to suffer, I stopped buying animal flesh and other animal products. At first I got a desire for the taste of cooked and seasoned flesh, but after awhile I no longer thought about it. And then the smell of raw flesh, and cooked flesh, became something that I found disgusting, rather than appealing. I'd like to leave things this way. I think that reminding myself of what bacon tasted like, by eating mock bacon, would only cause me to have cravings for real bacon.

[@di_nwflgulf3547]

BFV NAILED THIS..BEEN DOING IT A MTH NOW, EASY PESSY, DELISH!!!

[@SauceStache]

I was thinking that myself. I wonder if ground chia seeds would work? But really even adding a few tablespoons of raw plain protein powder might work

Could you use something other than coconut oil?

[@jessicalatten7173]

I would have tried this if it were available near where I live. I never buy it because they don’t sell any gf versions at my grocery store.

[@ViaAngeles-ve5uj]

Question: you said this hooray "bacon" was "near the daikon bacon" in quality - of the two, which do you prefer? Thanks very much! I may add some strips of rice paper along the white parts for added crunch. And use a combination of molasses (diluted) and syrup. I'm not vegan but tips like yours give us options when keep getting more expensive. These wd be great snacks, in biscuits & BLTs, and in salads for people avoiding meat or just pork (kosher or sensitivities)

[@corbanx0809]

Only a tsp of salt? Sounds like a scant amount. I guess I have to try it. Thx for sharing this.

You would lose a lot of that bacon flavor... I know it's odd but that maple syrup plus the smoke and salt really add up to the bacon taste. You dont get a sweet and savory like taste from this.

Your version looks way better! Tbh I didn’t like that brand. I gave it bad reviews 🙈, cuz it fell apart and it was super gross and turned into a glob mess. Plus it was stuck together, the texture was so strange. Maybe we did something wrong? But your version reminds me of the morning star vegetarian ‘b’con’ which isn’t vegan. I’ve been waiting, but still not vegan. So I may have to try this recipe. Plus I like that the ingredients are very simple. Vegan companies never last it seems 😩… Best -though it was great that they released their recipe but at the same time sort of sad.
