Homemade Bacon Homemade Bacon
Smoked bacon can be very expensive, so I decided to make it myself. Real bacon is very labor intensive, but through trial and error I managed to make yummy bacon without too much effort.The bacon can be smoked easier if it is cut into 2cm slices. If it is too thick, the flavor won't penetrate to the center. If the smoke color is too weak, you might want to try smoking it a second time. Also, make sure to thoroughly wipe the meat dry before smoking, otherwise the smoke will not penetrate the meat well. Recipe by Kurodai Chinuko -

Pork tenderloin stuffed with herbs and garlic, wrapped in bacon Pork tenderloin stuffed with herbs and garlic, wrapped in bacon
I threw a small bbq party for a couple of friends the other day. While shopping I picked up a pork tenderloin just because it was on sale. When I got home I didn't just want to throw it on the grill as I usually do so I started thinking. Now I know there must be tons of these recepies out there, probably even close to identical to this, but since I prefer going on my gut instinct instead of following recepies I'll still call this my own... The end result was so awesome and I practically got a standing ovation for it, I have no alternative but to share it with you. Enjoy!

Bacon, Individually Freezing Slices Bacon, Individually Freezing Slices
We love bacon, but rarely use a whole pound at one time. I also like to have it around for flavoring and salads, where only a couple offices are needed. I don't like the precooked bacon or imitation bacon, so this works perfectly. I always have bacon individually frozen in slices on hand,

Homemade Bacon - in the Oven Homemade Bacon - in the Oven
Just like making ham or Char Siu pork, sprinkle salt and let the meat rest to bring out the umami. Bake at a low temperature to increase the flavour. Creating a bacon-like flavour through the addition of salt was a challenge. I think the salt content here is just perfect.You can achieve an effect close to smoking by using black tea. You want to adjust the salt weight to equal 3~5% of the weight of the meat. Adjust the cooking time to correspond to the weight of the meat being cooked. Recipe by Okaraseijin -
