í prefer to make my own food, ít’s cheaper, healthíer and tastes better because í can use my favoríte íngredíents. í don’t eat vegan substítutes very often because they’re not healthy and they’re also really expensíve ín my country. Searchíng for the perfect vegan bacon recípe í found many amazíng recípes, some people use coconut or even eggplant to make facon (or fake bacon), but í thought the tempeh bacon probably taste better and ít’s really delícíous.
Although thís ís not the healthíest food ín the world, at least, ís much healthíer than regular bacon and also has less fat and ís cholesterol-free.
í used store bought tempeh, but íf you make your own tempeh, good for you! í rarely buy tempeh, actually thís was the second tíme í used ít. The fírst tíme í made these awesome vegan tempeh meatballs. íf you have a good homemade tempeh recípe, please share ít ín the comments!
Thís vegan tempeh ís really easy to make, you just have to slíce the tempeh, míx the marínade íngredíents, soak the tempeh slíces ín the marínade for 1 or 2 mínutes and fry them, that’s all! You can also bake ít íf you want.
