The lowdown
La Vie makes its bacon from rehydrated soya protein and sunflower oil, with a short ingredient list. The brand's big claim is that it replicates the way fat caramelises, so it's one for people who want proper crispy edges in a bacon sandwich.
How to cook it
Pan-fry with a tablespoon of oil until golden and crispy, or grill under a medium heat for about 8–10 minutes (brand guidance).
Always follow the instructions on your pack and make sure it's piping hot before serving.
