Ingredients
  

  • 3 tablespoons soya sauce
  • ½ teaspoon white miso paste
  • 2 level teaspoons nutritional yeast
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon onion powder
  • ¾ teaspoon Worcestershire sauce vegan
  • 4 tablespoon hot water
  • 110 grams (4 ounces / 1 cup) granulated TVP (textured vegetable protein)

Instructions
 

  • Place the soya sauce, white miso paste, nutritional yeast, garlic and onion powder, and Worcestershire sauce into a small mixing bowl. Add the hot water and mix well.
  • Mix in the TVP, and stir well to combine the ingredients. After mixing, allow it to stand for 10 minutes so that the TVP can soak up all the liquid. Store in an airtight container in the fridge until needed.
  • Crisp up the pieces before using. When ready to use, place the required amount in a dry frying pan and cook over low/medium heat for 3-5 minutes to dry out most of the bacon bits.
    Constantly stir the bacon bits to avoid burning. Remove from the heat once the smaller bits start to darken, transfer to a plate, and allow to cool.
