[candice] today on the edgyveg, i'm going to show you how to turn this ordinary piece of rice paper [candice] into the best vegan bacon you've ever had! [candice] don't believe me? let me prove you wrong! [candice] and make sure you subscribe for salty, delicious bacon! [candice] now i've seen this done a couple times online and i've tested them out. [candice] and after about five attempts at doing it, i came up with my own recipe and my own technique. [candice] to make the bacon marinate, we are going to take a bowl and a whisk. [candice] and we are going to whisk up some tamari, [candice] olive oil for greasy bacon goodness.
[candice] nutritional yeast, of course. it helps to thicken it up and give it like a cool texture. [candice] garlic powder, [candice] a little bit of liquid smoke, [candice] some maple syrup for that like sweet flavour that bacon has. [candice] and then for added kick, and flavour because i'm not afraid of spices, [candice] paprika and pepper. [candice] mix it up. [candice] with your dry rice paper, you're going to take two sheets, put them on top of each other. [candice] and using a super super super sharp knife, cut them into these like, strips.
[candice] now what we're going to do with these is we are going to take a brush. [candice] dip it into water, the two should be- make sure they're kind of like same size. [candice] and brush like a generous amount but not like so that they're drowning in water. [candice] and then put them together. [candice] little bit of water on this side, [candice] i've seen people like soak it online but apparently it's like super difficult to work with and it doesn't crisp up as much. [candice] so do that with a few strips. and then we are going to take our brush, [candice] and we are going to paint this marinate onto our bacon strips. [candice] both sides. and put it on a parchment paper lined baking sheet.
[candice] i mean it starts to kind of look like bacon. [candice] and then we are going to throw this into the oven, for about [candice] like 7 to 9 minutes, at 400f. [candice] which apparently is the technique to cooking perfect bacon anyway. [candice] baking it, not frying it. [candice] it tends to burn relatively quickly so keep your eye on it. [candice] and then when we're done, we should have the perfect crunchy, salty bacon substitute. [candice] i think this is the closest thing that i have found yet. [candice] and it's great because if you leave it in a tupperware, it gets soft again so you could even like
[candice] wrap it around king oyster mushrooms and then have like [candice] scallops wrapped in bacon. [candice] bacon wrapped everything! [candice] bacon double cheese burger, bacon stuffed pizza crust?! [candice] vegan french toast stuffed with vegan bacon and wrapped in bacon and then fried with bacon?! [candice] bacon! [candice] so there you have it, easy rice paper bacon that i think looks exactly like bacon. [candice] now you can add more of the marinate if you like as softer, more like meatier bacon. [candice] do you prefer soft bacon, crispy bacon?
[james] as a carnivore, i like it in the middle. [james] mm! [james] smoky and kind of ickery-ish. [candice] so is it carnivore approved? [james] definitely carnivore approved.
