I'm making a vegan version of my usual mac and cheese recipe and I have the flavor of the sauce down almost perfectly but I'm looking for a good substitute for little crispy bits of bacon. It just needs to work texturally as something both crispy and chewy. Should I try using seitan, or experiment with tofu a bit. If anyone has some vegetable ideas lemme know because I'm not sure what would hold up structurally the best

    Sorry to dissapoint you. Here's my pork belly sandwich recipe:

    • braise pork belly for about 4 hours in plum wine, soy sauce, ginger, peppercorns, brown sugar, and the white part of green onions. Add five spice if you have, if you don't make do with what you have that's similar. It's a very loose recipe. (don't forget msg!)
    • pickle thinly sliced carrots in a mix of water, rice wine vinegar, white vinegar, and sugar
    • throw it all on a baguette and try not to think too much about how much sodium you just had
