TikTok hack: how to make bacon from bread!

Okay, we may be just a tiny bit less curious about this than about how to turn water into wine, but only by a fraction. Because let’s be honest; turning bread into bacon is pretty spectacular too, right?! This TikToker does it…

And no, of course we’re not going to see how to turn a slice of white sandwich bread into a pig with a barn, manure and all that, followed by the rest of the story about how bacon eventually ends up with your fried egg. This is also a story for animal lovers, and anyone who does like to eat vegetarian or vegan from time to time! Pay attention and behold the magic:

@rjthemagicanHonestly better than a lot of bacon that I’ve had and its made out of 1 piece of bread ?. When this blows up remember I started it? #breakin #vegan♬ Ariana Grande / Doja cat / Megan Thee Stallion Type Beat(969753) – RYOTA KATO

Because this RJ shows how to make a kind of ‘bacon’ from bread, with the same savory, salty and umami flavor notes. Pretty clever, even the ‘curl’ of a crispy slice of bacon is recreated! He fries it in a pan, but baking it at a high temperature in the oven would probably work well too. And anyone who, like us, loves Tabasco Chipotle gets a check mark in our friendship book.

This trick reminds us of that clever vegan hack for making bacon from carrot ribbons; another great solution if you want to eat something that resembles bacon, but would rather leave animals alone. Take a look:

Hopefully this is useful to everyone who likes eating plant-based; we’d say, get cooking!
