That looks like some amazing....baikon?!?! ...I'll see myself out

Do a blindfold taste test of all the bacon's you've done, all using the same batch of bacon flavouring sauce, then compare which you prefer?

Just made it. Omg I’m in heaven. I haven’t ate a BLT in over 10 years! The best faux bacon ever!!

So after my first experiment where I didn't take enough salt off, I tried to do this without salting them first. Just used paper towels. It worked fine, and was much quicker and less messy which works for me. However I found that the use for the bacon is limited, as it rehydrates after crisping if it comes into contact with moisture. So for example I prepared some sandwiches for travel. The following morning the bacon had lost a lot of crisp and was a little chewy. The day after that, even more so. If you add it to a sauce it goes limp right away, so for example you couldn't really use it on vegan carbonana. It goes kind of soggy. It is amazing when it's fresh off the pan, and you can eat it with scrambled tofu or stuff like that. My next step would be to make them very fine like bacon bits and see if that works. I have tried thicker and thinner slices, both are good - hot off the pan, well wait a moment to let them firm up. I also froze them at different stages. They freeze well, I think, I find it best to freeze them once marinated. I tried to freeze after cooking just to test - nah. Hope this helped. I love these videos but I like to experiment & find a way to make this practical & useful in normal more day to day cooking. At the moment it's fantastic kept frozen, for days when I want a bit of a cooked breakfast. Really impressed guests, this & Easy Egg!

Msg is just protein bonded to salt. It naturally occurs, and causes no ill effects. The "study" that originally said it had been linked to health issues has been continually discredited.

In a parallel universe you're probably making meat based vegetable videos lol

Is bacon truly bacon? Hey Vsauce, Michael here.

The way you talk is so positive, I bet you'd sound excited describing a blank concrete wall

Maybe dehydrate them in your oven at the lowest temperature for an hour then rehydrate in the bacon marinade, then fry.

If you sliced horizontal like potato chips, you get pepperoni as well :)

It's nice to see someone who doesn't talk about MSG like it's Meth 😂

“This video is sponso-“ *+15 seconds +15 seconds +15 seconds* “-uorself a free trial wit-“ *+15 seconds +15 seconds* “-acon made from daikon!!” 😎

i work at Whole Foods and someone straight up came up to me yesterday asking for Daikon to make bacon n I was like.... damn white people r wild

I swear every bacon gets better😂 This looks just like bacon! Then again..I'll be saying that about the next bacon video! Honestly I think radish works perfectly here!! Great job Mark!

I just made this recipe and may I just say that you have been elevated to godlike status in my eyes! This is sooooo good! You're awesome! Thank you for making all of these recipes and sharing!

Hi Sauce/mr. Stache =) I just tried this. It's amazing. I added some marmite too inspired by another meat recipe of yours. What I changed is; I don't do the salt covering but steam them out on a low heat in the pan then they are not so salty. I also tried leek which gets very dry and crispy very quickly and tastes more like bacon chips than meat but still also nice as healthy pringles alternative. I also tried it with chicory but that just wont dry out at all. I can finally have full English breakfast again! Hoorah! As I'm typing this, I'm trying the daikon but cut up into small cubes leaving them overnight to see if it will produce a decent mac&cheese or even better a spaghetti carbonara when fried as ham cubes. You are sensational thank you!

That’s so cool it literally looks just like bacon I hope everyone remembers u as the guy who perfected/invented this vegan bacon lol

"This is the winner. This might be the end of it." _Next episode: Papaya Bacon_

This recipe is amazing!! I would add a LOT less soy sauce and more oil because it was very very salty. I skipped the MSG and substituted the liquid smoke with paprika and it turned out SOO GOOD,

Love the stoke, love the creativity! You've got a new subscriber. Thanks for being you.

Should I try to make more Bacon videos??? I mean this is by far the best Plant based bacon I've tried!

don't let anyone tell you not to use msg. there's nothing wrong with it lol

I cooked it this morning!! It’s amazing. You’re a genius. Thank you.

I love love love your channel. I started watching you about two years ago and was hooked. I really like how your recipes are very easy to follow. Keep up the great work.

All the little piglets and big Piggies are grateful to you Mark. Pepa

MSG is a legitimate seasoning. Keep using and normalizing it!

What’s bad about MSG? We’ve used it in my family ever since I can remember. And just to let most of you against MSG know, the reason you can’t get your food to taste like grandmas is probably because MSG was her secret ingredient 😉

Just found your channel. Love all these awesome vegan alternative recipes! Keep em coming!

Put a patent on this immediately. You're a genius

Vegan 30 years, why didn’t I think of this! You’re brilliant!

I'm so happy for this recipe!! Thank You!!

Thank you so much for this recipe!! Amazing! We are so excited to try this soon!

I'm here for all the vegan recipes. Thank you.

I actually ended up making it today :) it's amazing, but if you let it fry for too long it's just basically radish chips. They're delicious slightly softer. Also: I don't recommend salting them as shown in this video. Even though I wiped it off, it still ended up being too salty. I think it would turn out great if the radish slices just sat in the juices for a few days in the fridge and were then fried.

Wow thanks so much for sharing I'm so excited to try this!!!

So glad I found your recipes and channel! Thank you for your service to mankind.

Your enthusiasm is contagious 😁 Love your talent for cooking and sharing with us!

BRO HOW TF ARE U MAKING THING TASTE LIKE MAGIC BRO!!!! ur amazing!

Amazing!!!! I'm definitely trying this. Thanks 🤩🤩🤩

I've been a vegan for 20 years, but your and Gaz's videos have really taken my vegan gastronomic rapacity to a whole new level. Keep up the great work brother.

If this is the end of your Mak'en Baken journey could you do a blind taste test with multiple people to see what others think too and if you can fool them? Maybe try by itself and then on a burger or sandwich?

The mad lad actually went out and sought an ORIGINAL recipe for plant bacon!

Wow, that turned out AMAZING; thanks for an incredible recipe. I made it into a BLT wrap with vegan ranch instead of mayo. Pure comfort food. The smokiness of the bacon was great and it stayed crunchy long enough for the meal.

This is incredible!! Thank you so much for sharing.

I love how happy and positive he is

My favorite thing about this channel is they aren't trying to shove their life style down your throat but making it easier to try different options that you can add into your own life style

Great job with this 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 It is extremely salty thought so I will work with this. It looks very appetising. I'm adding this to my goody list 👍🏻👍🏻

I AM INCREDIBLY STOKED TO HAVE STUMBLED UPON THIS VIDEO 😍😍😍💗💗💗 I was googling what to do with the Daikon radish I just bought the other day too.. and this is like OMG !!! 😍😍😍

"Hey honey, tonight we'll be making *Baikon* "

Bro, I turned vegan sometime ago, doesn’t mean I disrespect or turn down meat if people who don’t know I’m vegan offers.., I subscribed your channel and respect you cos, I tried this and came our fine. Kudos to you bro.

I LOVE HOW POSITIVE YOU ARE!

I really like it is a vegetable! No complicated mixtures. THANK YOU!!!

Dude msg is just an amino acid, its even in tomatos and grapes. Hating msg is like hating leafs for being green, bunch a health freaks around here, and thats coming from a vegan!

People's lack of knowledge in how harmless MSG is is hilarious

Watched the entire video. Super informative and entertaining. Thx!

Can't wait to try this! Thank you!

Bald Seth Rogen making fake bacon... Witchcraft?!? 🤔

I have always used eggplant. I'm *definitely* trying this "Baikon." 💯🍆🍠 lol thank you for this idea!!

I grew daikons last year and had no idea how big they grew! The ones I grew were the size of yours and made great pickles. I'm looking forward to this year's harvest to try this!

What???? You are a genius!!! Keep them coming! This recipe won me over! No kidding! Bacon has been the hardest to give up for me! Can’t thank you enough!!

Waiting for Merle to try this....so that I CAN TRY IT💁

Bacon flavoured radish chips ???!

That crunch and texture was fascinating

I can’t believe I have only yet discovered your channel! But im glad I did! Thanks!

Wow who would have thought . Thank you

Even though I’m growing tired of bacon 🥓 videos, I will say that this one looks like legitimate bacon. 👍 Good job!

Yo just found your channel and I am loving your videos. Thanks for all the great creations

You are the King. I can't wait to try this.

Halal bacon, finally! **cheers in islam**

I’m not even a vegan or vegetarian and I wanna try this

This is amazing. So happy I found your channel

Love your channel! Thank you for this recipe ❤️❤️❤️

Traditionally in Chinese cooking, the Daikon is usually used for soups, stews, and broils.

OMG! I just watched your video every step added every single ingredient and I just finished making the bacon? Let me tell you thank you so much for sharing this video because I am amazed it tastes wonderful and amazing!

I'm gonna try this, its looks amazing. Thank you for sharing.

I put the strips over a grate overnight and let them dry out. It makes for a less-salty piece of bacon that retains its crispness longer. If it absorbs moisture later, just put on the grate and bake until it re-crisps. I broke down and used the MSG - and now would never make this recipe without it. Oh, I store in a vacuum container.

You know it's good when someone who's not even a vegetarian talks about a vegan meat substitute like this.

Anyone who eats name brand chips like Frito Lay, and off brand mimics, are eating loads of MSG. Difference is that they use the proper name. *Monosodium glutamate* if you see that on the ingredients list, that's MSG folks!!!!! And it isn't bad, look at how young looking people are in countries that use it. Korea Japan, China, and India to name a few, their 40y/o tend to look 10+ years younger than most people living in America. I'll take MSG over iodized salt any day.

This is the first time I’ve watched a video of yours. Love your energy :)

This is brilliant, can't wait to try it.

I just made this recipe and it turned out f*ing delicious 😋 You are amazing!!

It’s very common in US and northern Europe to mistake meat flavour with all the stuff you put on flavour. So daikon bacon could taste the same as real bacon, yes, but not the real taste of mate could be mistaken with real taste of raddish, in Italy we are used to not garnish meat and veggies so much so its impossibile to confuse ‘em. Anyway maximum respect! It’s a great way to cook any raddish. Good job!

really great discovery my friend sounds awesome will have to try this.

Ok! Brand new subscriber right here! I’m going to try this tomorrow! Stay tuned!

This is amazing! I Love this. I have a question. Could we get a studio tour sometime? I would love to see how you shoot your videos!

Wow. I'm no vegan but I love food and that looks delicious

Just finished making this for breakfast. I already love daikon, so finding a new way to enjoy it is just mind blowing. The crisp is fantastic! I did burn a couple once the oil got too hot, so be careful folks. Thanks for showing me a new way to look at a vegetable I love!

Would like to make this bacon. Thank you for the recipe!!!

After watching your video yesterday I was intrigued. So I went to the store bought a daikon radish and made this exactly as your video - MSG, mainly because I couldn't find any MSG at the grocery store. I can say it was my favorite vegan bacon. Before this I use the rice paper. However it was very salty so I'm making it again this morning minus the salt I'm just letting it hang out on the paper towels for at least an hour and pressing it down and changing out the paper towels to get the moisture out. I think this is going to be my new obsession. Thank you for sharing. 😍😍😍

Seth Rogan has shaved his head and is now making vegetarian bacon. Awesome, I’m in.

Your channel is GREAT!!! New subscriber! Let the binge begin, LOL!😁

I just made this! It was amazing and I was finally able to have a bacon egg and cheese on a bagel after years of not eating meat.

I just made this - but my Diakon radishes were out of my garden and are carrot size. They turned out tasty , and I plan on making bacon bits . I'm stoked for BLTs when my tomatoes come in ! Thanks for this awesome recipe!!! 👌
