This recipe came from the book:
The Vegan Table by: Coleen Patrick-Goudreau p. 29
My husband absolutely loved this recipe. He ate the leftover "bacon" on sandwiches for the next few days after. I used it to make BLTs for us for lunch.
Tempeh Bacon
1 package (8 oz) Tempeh
1/4 Cup Soy Sauce
2 tsp Liquid Smoke
3 Tbsp Real Maple Syrup
1/4 Cup Water
Canola oil, for frying
*Steam Tempeh for 10 minutes. ( I used the basket provided in our rice cooker)
*Mix soy, smoke, syrup, water in a large bowl
*Cool Tempeh, then cut into thin bacon-size strips
*Let sit in marinade as long as you like. Around 20-30 minutes is good. Shake occasionally to make sure tempeh is coated in marinade
*Heat oil in skillet
*Fry strips over med-high heat until crisp. Turn fry again other side. About 5 min per side. ( May turn brown as maple syrup caramelizes.)
*Remove from heat and set on paper towel to absorb excess oil.
For a delicious BLT. Use your favorite Vegan friendly bread. Slice some roma tomatoes, add lettuce or spring mix, spread as much vegenaise as you like and add your tempeh bacon slices all inside. Yummy!!

Kroger carries it all the time. At least the one next to campus. In the front of the store where the produce and soy milk are. They have tofu, tempeh, soy yogurt, veggie "ground beef" and hot dogs.
