TOFU BACON
  
1 lb firm Tofu, cut into strips shaped like bacon
2 tblsp nutritional yeast
2 tblsp tamari/shoyu
1 tsp Wright's (or other brand) liquid smoke
1 tblsp oil (something neutral, not olive or sesame)
 
Fry tofu strips on low or medium heat until they are crispy on the
outside.  The best way to do this is to lay them in the pan in the
oil and let them sit for at least 10 minutes, simmering.  They
should turn easily after that.  Turn them and give them another 10
minutes on the other side.

Mix the tamari/shoyu soy sauce with the liquid smoke first, then
take the pan off the heat.  Pour the liquid smoke/tamari into the
pan and stir the tofu so all sides are coated, then sprinkle the
yeast over all, stir some more, over the heat, until the liquid is
gone and the tofu is covered with sticky yeast.

Another variation is to marinate the tofu in the tamari/liquid
smoke mixture for several hours and then fry, but it misses a little
bit without the nutritional yeast.
