One rice paper sheet at a time, rapidly soften it by dipping it into a bowl of warm water. Make sure you only soak it for a few secondsdon't soak it for too long. Spoon both sides of the softened rice paper with the marinade mixture after laying it flat on a clean surface. Continue until you have 6 rice paper sheets. To make a stack, place the marinated rice paper sheets on top of one another. Slice the stack into pieces the thickness of bacon strips with a sharp knife or kitchen scissors. Make sure the rice paper bacon strips do not overlap when you place them on a baking sheet covered with parchment paper. For added crispiness, lightly brush the strips with vegetable oil. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the vegan bacon is crispy and beginning to turn golden, in a preheated oven. Before serving, take them out of the oven and allow them to cool for a few minutes.
