Ingredients
Red ingredients
- 1 tsp beetroot powder
- 2 tbsp tapioca starch
- 1 tbsp mushroom powder
- 1 tbsp maple syrup
- 3 tsp liquid smoke
- 2 tbsp coconut oil at room temperature
Bacon base
- 4-6 sheets of rice paper
Instructions
Prepare the red paste
- Heat up the 2 tbsp of coconut oil until it is liquid.
- Pour the liquid coconut oil in a bowl, add the maple syrup and the liquid smoke.
- Add the beetroot powder, mushroom extract, and tapioca starch and stir until you get a thick paste.
Prepare the strips
- Heat up a large frying pan with 1 tsp of oil.
- Get a pair of sharp scissors and set a clean working area.
- Take 2 rice paper sheets and quickly run them underwater on both sides. Stack one on top of the other.
- Working quickly, using scissors, cut strips the size of bacon strips. You should get 3 middle strips and 2 end parts.
- Using a spoon or your fingers, rub some of the red paste over each strip on one side and immediately place it in the hot frying pan.
- Make sure that the strips don't touch because they will be quite sticky. Flip after a minute.
- Apply a little more red paste with a spoon on the other side. Use a spatula to flatten the strips if they blister.
- Serve immediately.
