I'm hard of hearing and I totally heard the crunch. I gotta try this recipe out. Not Vegan. Love bacon. But it's time to change and eat healthier. Thanks for your recipe.
I feel the exact same! I love certain things, but do I just love them for the taste? Im not sure! But I've been trying to implement more plant based stuff into my regimen for the past 2 months or so. And I honestly feel better. It might be completely mental, but knowing that I'm trying to do better for the environment in general counteracts it. I have not stopped eating meat (I was raised with steak being the dinner protein for almost 12 years) but I am trying to minimize my meat intake for more plant based substitutes. Every recipe has been delicious from edgy veg or merle o neal.
@Yasin Jadauji while I appreciate the gesture I never intended on going 100% vegan, I'm sorry. I'm just a culinarian looking to expand their palette and hopefully in a small way help the environment. Lol
@@deejmateo832 veganism is not only a diet. you're completely ignoring the fact that you're paying to have sentient beings murdered and raped just to please your taste buds.
This looks good! Thanks for the video and improving the recipe. It’s frustrating watching Gordon Ramsey come out with vegan food, because he’s not as passionate about it. I can never tell if his recipes are a joke or not. I can't wait to try it!!
Great video, can't wait to try this. I tried Gordon's bacon but with tempeh and it tastes way better I also cut out some of the spice from the marinade, cause you can always add flavor.
I haven't seen his actual video and don't know what he was trying to recreate, but in the UK you don't really get crispy bacon like you guys in North America maybe that's part of it? 🤷🏼♀️
Was about to mention the same thing. In the UK we use less of the streaky bacon and make it just cooked and crisped on the edges only. It has to be chewy. Also, every time you mentioned Gordon it seemed like a micro aggression, lol!
@@EdgyVeg I made enough for 1 sandwich that time. What is the best way to store it if I want to make the whole recipe and save some for later? I wanna put it in chopped salads and my vegan ranch pasta salad. Thanks❣
The crunchy bacon is such an American thing I think. I've never seen it here in the Netherlands. It's always chewy and meaty, in a good way, with some crips on the edges.
We do crispy bacon here in Norway. So not only American. But I’ve definitely noticed the difference when I went to the UK, where it was meaty and chewey.
His recipe definitely needed help and there is no better person to upgrade it than the queen of rice paper bacon herself :D You did a fantastic job Candice! I have never been a bacon person but this vegan version seems to be real delicious! . Lots and lots of love for you and the whole team! Stay safe and have a great rest of the week!
Put tofu on 1/2 of the sauced rice paper, then fold the other 1/2 of the sauced rice paper over top of the tofu, press down, cut. Might speed up the process a little bit. Thanks for the recipe, always a pleasure!
I watched Gordon's video and several recreations of it, including yours. Then I watched this one, and wound up following it. Delightful! I knew I would not like Ramsey's original because of the spiciness, so I am glad I chose to follow this one, including the marinade recipe you use. I am sold! I gave a couple pieces to someone who is not vegan but open-minded. They preferred this bacon to the real deal!
I wonder if the reason the original recipe is softer/chewier is because bacon tends to be cooked less crispy in the UK? He might not have been trying to replicate crispy bacon.
Hi, first time seeing your cooking videos. Loved them by the way! I Just had tofu skins at a Vietnamese restaurant the other day, I was wondering how that would work for this recipe...
I tried GMs and your original one. Yours was easier and better. What I do now is just 3 layers of rice paper (no tofu). Comes out the best of all, I think. as it's thicker than your original, crispy on both out sides and still just the right amount of chewy inside.
@@EdgyVeg NP. I love you even though i am clearly old enough to be your non-Canadian Dad. I have been vegan since Jan. of 2019, and I love your stories/history, and honesty. it broke my heart to watch the "What happened to the old Candice" vid..... as i had NO idea. i assumed, that your life has been perfect, surrounded by loving supportive humans.... silly me. anyway, i am your biggest veg bodybuilder fan, and try pretty much all of your recipes. rock on Candice! You are making a difference!!! :-)
Bacon in the UK isn't like US bacon. It's more salty anf has no maple syrup. Its more axe head shaped than a strip. I wonder if marinaring the bread from the bread recipe and wrapping it in rice paper would work? 🤔
Candice's version certainly is better but that's not surprising because unlike Gordon Ramsay she has passion for vegan food and more serious about it. I wouldn’t even make the Gordon Ramsay's version because it's too complicated and time consuming. Love 🥰the video and love 💕Candice.
I have really been having a craving for sweets/baked goods, chocolate and not, I like lots of variety and vegan baked goods/sweets doesn’t always have that (unless you make it yourself). I really love fruits, creamy stuff, and pastry of all kinds! You should do a video for a few of those. :)
Hey! So i'm not vegan, but am enjoying these vids, and the idea of exploring with food, replicating meat with other ingredients etc. Got an idea - how about using really small pieces of fried eggplant? until it's super soft and brown, and soaked with oil. that would be way more convincing as "fat" compared to tofu in my humble opinion Regradless, this looks awsome. Now I wanna try it, and I don't even like tofu (and bacon) all that much lol
The first time I tried a rice paper bacon it was SOOO chewy and floppy and just horribly textured. I think maybe my rice paper was too wet. I’m going to try this out! Also! I’m about to order your book (Finally!)
Nothing works better than experience and the knowledge that you should make the best possible plant based bacon, because there’s no cheating by having the original version ( 🐷 bacon ).
It's surprising to me that some people's version of Gordon's bacon didn't get crispy. Mine were super crispy and I added a lot of tofu. Sauce Stach's attempt also was very crispy. I didn't like Gordon's marinade though. so I'll try this marinade with his version of tofu since it worked for me.
Loads of traditional vegan food in the world is spicy. I wouldn't say people in India don't know how to flavour food. On the contrary, their spicy food is delicious.
That looks reasonably doable. I'm not one for "meat" substitutes because I've always enjoyed plant's over animal flesh, for the most part but this is actually somewhat nutritious. Good job👍
I guess his concept was good, but it's all in the execution... Have you seen or tried any TikTok layered potato stacks, like @moribyan’s Million Layer Potatoes or @poppycook’s 15 Hour Potatoes? They're really interesting.
@@EdgyVeg Thanks! I've never eaten bacon, so I don't know anything about the texture. My brain thought that cooking it in Gordon's recipe could've maybe made it a better texture. Hope you have a good day. :)
I would honestly trim more the tofu and folds the sheets with the filling like 3 strip from rice sheet. And yes your recipe is better than the original, that man it's a joke just mocking Vegans.
With the amount Gordon screws up vegan cooking so royally, it really makes me doubt him as a chef. Whereas your stuff is always incredible! He's professionally trained and should understand the flavor combinations that work
I love when you and Sauce Stache cook the same things. The differences in your technique and execution are fascinating.
We are like 2 birds of a feather sometimes! Definitely take inspiration from each other and learn a lot
Sauce Stache is a vile man and a fraud so..

@@deejmateo832 totally valid. Better if billions do it halfway than only a tiny number does it perfectly

Already have rice paper and just bought tofu the other day!🤩 TRYING THIS RIGHT NOW!!🥰
Let us know how it turns out!
I hope you like it!
Thank you for the short cuts to make things more efficient. Like, for real, we our real people out here.

Great video, can't wait to try this. I tried Gordon's bacon but with tempeh and it tastes way better I also cut out some of the spice from the marinade, cause you can always add flavor.
The original was very very spicy, not how I make my bacon

That's a good point! But I think we can all agree that bacon should not be that spicy haha!
A little tip if I may? If you want to make it even easier use round rice paper that fits in the plate or get a square tray.
Thanks for the tip!
I just made a BLT with your bacon. DELICIOUS❣ Thank you❣❣
You're welcome! Sounds delish!

It's perfect for that!

I like the shortcuts you've presented in this video!

thanks!
I wonder if the reason the original recipe is softer/chewier is because bacon tends to be cooked less crispy in the UK? He might not have been trying to replicate crispy bacon.
you might be on to something!
I'm from the UK and we do have less crispy bacon, but you guys do bacon way better! 😊
I have been making the rice paper bacon for several years. We love it in our house. I’m very interested to try it with the MSG. I’m a big fan of MSG
The MSG really adds something special here
I have not made your rice paper bacon or GR's. But now I'm gonna try this. YUM.
I hope you like it!
Love you. Hard working, honest, creative and fun💃🙏💕
thank you!
Hi, first time seeing your cooking videos. Loved them by the way! I Just had tofu skins at a Vietnamese restaurant the other day, I was wondering how that would work for this recipe...
You would probably have to boil or soak them first! But it would likely make for a good substitute
I’m going to try yours.
I hope you like it!
I have never seen square rice paper and now I need it in my life.
perfect for rice paper bacon!
That looks way better then Gordon’s one because it was disgusting!
I hope this fulfills what you were looking for
Thanks for posting!!😎👌👍💥
thanks for watching!
Oh I trust you over him all days of the week 😁 so trying this one...looked amaze balls!!
Hope you enjoy
I am definitely going to try your newly evolved bacon.
It's very good!
I love your confidence!

The best Vegan bacon i've tried is called "This isn't bacon" it is nice & smoky.
You guys in the UK have the best vegan stuff! Sad from here in Texas, USA

Omg. I was wondering. I saw his vegan bacon and was like🤔 this looks better

Great take on his recipe 👍
Thanks! I think I have a lot more rice paper bacon experience than chef ramsay!
@@EdgyVeg I have no doubt on that! 😋👍
Perhaps marinated soft tofu in the middle is a good thing? So it’s more spreadable.
if you try that please let us know how to goes!

Maybe we did something different and everyone's oven is different as well, I'm still happier with my version!
I thought his recipe looked a little off🤷♀️ definitely going to try yours
I hope you like it!
Could this be made without oil?
The #1 red flag 🚩 of someone who can’t cook vegan food well is making food spicy. They don’t know how to flavor food.
Loads of traditional vegan food in the world is spicy. I wouldn't say people in India don't know how to flavour food. On the contrary, their spicy food is delicious.
@@thatsalt1560 I agree with you.
But sometimes some people use spice to compensate
Sometimes people just use spice to cover up otherwise bland food. Some foods should be spicy but bacon is not one of them
I wonder if you grated the tofu it would work? That bacon looked delish btw
that's a good idea!
Can you not cut it directly on the pan/silpat? Like skip laying anything on the cutting board?
i don't want to cut the mats, but you could!
That looks reasonably doable. I'm not one for "meat" substitutes because I've always enjoyed plant's over animal flesh, for the most part but this is actually somewhat nutritious. Good job👍
Haha, that “animal flesh” instantly brought the image of a vegan Orc (from Lord of the Rings) to mind! Just a strange word combination.
Hope you enjoy
Thank you! Vegan BLT in my future w this bacon!
I hope you enjoy!
What’s the measurements on the marinade?
www.theedgyveg.com/2021/08/30/gordon-ramseys-vegan-bacon-recipe/
I wonder how it would work if the tofu was blended and puréed into the marinade and then the rice paper was dunked in that
Interesting
that's a good idea! If you try please let us know!
@@EdgyVeg will do✌️ love ur recipes btw. We always make your fondue for Christmas 💛
I like the high protein tofu. It seems really dry.
the marinade keeps it from getting dry
What is the benefit of dipping vs brushing on the marinade?
I think it's quicker and it soaks up more marinade more evenly
Heyyyyy you have a freakishly small wooden spoon like chef John #iykyk 😌
tiny spoons do the trick!
I guess his concept was good, but it's all in the execution...
Have you seen or tried any TikTok layered potato stacks, like @moribyan’s Million Layer Potatoes or @poppycook’s 15 Hour Potatoes?
They're really interesting.
I'll have to check those out!
I wanna see Gordon Ramsey do this now
I welcome his opinion!
Can you make your chicken recipes taste like pork?
Have you tried cooking the tofu before adding it in?
that would add a bit more cook time and it might get too dry while cooking the bacon, you want the tofu to be soft to be like bacon fat
@@EdgyVeg Thanks! I've never eaten bacon, so I don't know anything about the texture. My brain thought that cooking it in Gordon's recipe could've maybe made it a better texture. Hope you have a good day. :)
He needed a vegan's touch 🤣
I'm happy to coach him through it
Superb! Gordon Ramsay is way overrated. He could learn from you! 😎
I'm happy to help!
@@EdgyVeg 🤣
loving the gordon slander here xD
if he wanted to do rice paper bacon the right way, he should've just asked!
Could you prep this the night before? Looks like a lot of work for fake bacon.
It only takes a few minutes to prepare, but you could definitely have the marinade and tofu prepped the night before
I would honestly trim more the tofu and folds the sheets with the filling like 3 strip from rice sheet. And yes your recipe is better than the original, that man it's a joke just mocking Vegans.
I'm happy to help him improve
I thought, just like you, that there was way too much tofu and that bacon isn't spicy (wtf?).
I think this version is much better!
@@EdgyVeg So do I, by a long shot!!!!
With the amount Gordon screws up vegan cooking so royally, it really makes me doubt him as a chef. Whereas your stuff is always incredible! He's professionally trained and should understand the flavor combinations that work
Most popular chefs are only good at making a very limited style of food that centers around meat and seem incapable of moving away from that.
It seems way easier for them to make a steak out of steak than to make a steak out of veggies. Lucky for us, vegans are always up for a challenge
Someone needs to do a review of Gordan Ramsey's bacon while imitating his infamous behavior. This guy really doesn't know vegan. My God.
he tried and we appreciate that at least! But if he needs advice I'm happy to help!
I think Gordon is trolling vegans, his "recipes" seem to be a bust yet everyone has to try them?
He knows how to get views that's for sure
😂😂😂 Msg is a salt..too much is bad for you.. and various science also says to much of anything just bad for you it is not found in mature
Vegans obsessed with recreating bacon and meat. Nothing new here
Meat eaters leaving dumb comments. Nothing new here.
