1/2 tsp. Liquid Smoke

Freshly ground black pepper

NOTE: Some people use…

Tempehcon: The Baconing Getting kiiiiinda obsessed with making tempeh bacon, especially since the the non-stop tempeh party train rolled into town. Here’s the deal:

+Cut tempeh into the thinnest possible strips, or just crumble it 

+Dunk it in marinade for a couple minutes. Longer doesn’t help, just get it good and soaked

+Fry it real slow on low heat, so it can get a little crispy at the edges. Don’t use olive oil, that’ll burn. Use literally anything else. Use a lot. But realize it’ll soak up as much oil as you let it, so set some boundaries. 

+When it’s mostly done, pour a little more marinade on top, then let it crisp up.

Best served really fucking hot, but it keeps ok too. SO ABOUT THAT MARINADE: 

1/3 C soy sauce (low sodium, maybe) 

2 tbsp water

1 tbsp toasted sesame oil

1 tsp ground sage

1 tsp ground cumin

1/8 tsp liquid smoke

1/4 tsp smoked salt (or slightly more liquid smoke) 

1/2 tsp sriracha
