Made this for my meat-loving father-in-law. Used it as the "bacon" on a BLT salad. It was a huge hit! Even with dad! Thanks dudes!

Hi guys! My English isn't too good, but I really want to share this with you. Last weekend I tried this recipe and I really liked this 'fakon' for my sandwich. I liked it so much, that I wanted it again on Monday, but there wasn't any tempeh left. However, I did still have some marinade, so I decided to spread that on my toasted sandwich. Then I put some nice pieces of (homemade!) spicy vegan cheese on it, plus some tomato slices and a handful of spinach. Because of the really awesome 'bacony' taste of the marinade I thus created a 'fakon sandwich' even WITHOUT the fakon :-)! It still makes me smile :-) and I'll definitely use this recipe again!

Just made this for my mother and me. We both loved it! Thanks guys!

I love the twin action. LOL. That looks amazing and easy.

Guys, thank you so much for the recipe! I've made it with my homegrown tempeh and it was delicious 😋 Gonna be one of my favourite!

Made this for lunch. Delicious! 🌱👏

That looks so delicious! I’ve never seen anyone make it with Tempe. I’m going to give it a go! Thanks!

Wow, 15 years!! You guys are amazing! I’ll be making this right now because I bought packs of tempeh from the store and would love to use them now! Thank you.

Brilliant! Just bought your book after trying this and impressed a meat eater too. Keep them coming!

"Take That!" 😂 Looks scrummy! Thanks for yet another entertaining and idea stirring recipe video. You guys are tops!

Twin action!! Love it! Thanks for cool recipe, it looks yummy!

Just used this marinade to make an MLT sandwich for brekkie (mushrooms). Yummo!

try adding a tsp or two of adobo sauce from canned chipotle chiles in adobo. It will provide a smoke flavor and also a little bit of heat.

When I was a teen we had a very small but very diverse Health Food Store. By diverse I mean it was packed with nearly every ingredient you could want and they made sandwiches salads and desserts all vegan. They use the product on their BLT that is a copy written name called fakin bacon. I love that sandwich they also added pickles to a BLT with vegan mayonnaise and fakin bacon lettuce tomato and onion. Every time I had the money I went there and bought their BLT. In America we can still buy that product and I have some in my freezer. I think it's time for a fakin BLT soon! :-) sometimes for me it is just easier to buy the pre-made as long as I know it and love it. I have caregivers but they aren't always here so with fakin bacon in the freezer I can do an easy BLT for myself. :-) :-) thanks guys for posting!

nice one lads. just wondering can you marinade for longer or would that make no difference

This looks amazing. I really miss bacon since giving up meat so I need to try this!!

Sounds amazing guys! I'm thinking that alder smoked salt would be heavenly in this recipe. What do you think if I just cut out the soy?

Hello the flu and Twins :-) this was my very first post to you two. I want to thank you because you were so non-judge mental and not telling the world to be vegan vegan vegan but just see if there’s some healthy delicious choices for you. Well it’s working for me now for about a year. I love your recipes your cookbooks your videos and your positive energy. Your Irish porridge is a staple in my home now thanks to you two. Today I made your vegan bacon in my phone although I don’t think it taste a thing like chorizo or bacon it is absolutely divine. I made my own bacon and eggs with a little grilled tomato salad that could be either Italian or Irish :-) yesterday I made your nacho cheese sauce and it was exquisite. Just keep doing what you’re doing and thanks so much :-) PS three happy pear recipes in less than 24 hours :-) life is good :-)

This looks sooooo DELICIOUS :-) thanks a million for sharing this Dave and Steve and sending you guys tons of love and heaps of happiness and Plant Power from Waterford to Greystones for a MAGICAL weekend ahead XXXX

Hii, I recently discovered your channel and work and am obsessed with everything! So inspired! Keep up the amazing work. I am a business student from Brazil, and am honestly very inspired with what you do. I don't know much about yoga but it is something I would like to experiment and learn more about. I am always saying that I would like to clear my mind sometimes, as I'm always thinking about college or little details, that aren't really relevant, yet I constantly worry about. I think yoga could really help me, so maybe you could do a video about it, for beginners, I'm sure other people would appreciate it as well!

easy hack to cut out the oil for this is to but smoked tempeh and toast the tempeh in the toaster oven and baste it with maple syrup as you toast . toast twice for super crispy bacony goodness. Cant wait to try your recipe and share it with friends who eat meat and see what they say

I've accidentally made baconlike product from very thinly sliced firm tofu by leaving it in a frying pan on a lower temerature and forgetting about it. When I remembered about the tofu and ran to the kichen I discovered a beautiful brown crispy salty goodness in the pan. It happened only one time in the beginning of past summer, and I haven't been able to purpousfully execute it again...

I wish vegans would stop saying it's better than the real thing. It's not. It's different. It's ethically better than the real thing, of that's what you mean. But that's not what you mean, is it.

With.the tomato purée I think this is more just bbq tempeh rather than bacon.

im sorry but this recipe is bad. the marinade is too thin it doesnt stick to the tempeh. tempeh tastes bad in the first place. im not sure you guys are doing this, but please dont act like its delicious just to get the views.
