Best Crispy Tofu And Bacon Wraps Recipes

CRISPY TOFU AND BACON WRAPS

Steps:

• Place the tofu, yellow onion, green onion, red pepper, garlic, mushrooms, tomato, and bacon in the bowl of a food processor. Season with fish sauce, red wine, parsley, salt, pepper, curry powder, mustard powder, dill, and ginger; puree until smooth.
• Place an egg roll wrapper on your work surface with a corner pointing towards you. Spoon 1 to 2 tablespoons of the tofu mixture in between the center and bottom corner of the wrapper. Fold the corner closest to you over the top of the filling, then fold in the left and right sides. Moisten the top corner with a little water, and roll up tightly.
• Heat a few inches of canola oil in a large pot to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Fry the wraps a few at a time until the center has cooked and the outside is golden brown. Drain on paper towels and serve hot.

CRISPY TOFU BACON IN 10 MINUTES

Steps:

• Slice your tofu.** Lay slices on a couple of layers of paper towels. Add another paper towel on top and press gently to extract some of the moisture from the tofu.
• Place a large non-stick saucepan over medium to medium-high heat. If your burner runs hot like our high BTU burner on our gas stove, opt for lower - medium or even medium low. You know your stove best! You want to fry your tofu nicely, but you don't want your oil to burn.
• Add olive oil to the pan.
• When the oil is hot, lay the tofu slices in a single layer in the pan. The tofu will bubble, sizzle, and maybe even spit a bit so use caution, but know this will result in the easiest, most delicious tofu bacon of your life! Cook until light golden on one side, 3-4 minutes, then flip and cook the other side until light golden, 2 minutes or so.
• While the tofu cooks, mix together the soy sauce, pure maple syrup, and smoked paprika in a small bowl.
• When both sides of the tofu are golden and the slices are beginning to stiffen and look drier around the edges, reduce the heat to low. Reducing the heat is important to prevent burning! Then pour the soy sauce mixture over the tofu and toss the tofu slices until coated in the mixture. Cook, tossing gently, until the soy sauce is evaporated, about 1 more minute. Transfer to a clean plate to cool a bit and then enjoy!
• Tofu bacon keeps, refrigerated in an airtight container, for 3-4 days. But once it sits for a bit, it does lose its crispiness. Still delicious! Just not crisp anymore.
