Slice the mushrooms into thin strips, about ~⅛-inch thick.
In a large, flat shallow dish, combine all sauces and seasonings.
Add mushroom strips to dish and flip to coat both sides. Marinate for 10-15 minutes.
To cook in the oven: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and place a wire baking rack on top. Add the mushroom strips in a single layer, leaving space between them. Bake 18-20 minutes, until dark brown, fragrant, and crispy. After 15 minutes, check regularly for doneness. (If you don’t have a wire baking rack, flip halfway.)
To cook on the stove: Heat oil in a pan (or on a griddle) over medium heat and add mushroom strips. Turn heat up to high and cook 4-7 minutes on each side, until browned and crisp. Transfer to a paper towel to cool.
Serve warm and enjoy with a tofu scramble, toast, or whatever you like!
Store in an airtight container in fridge for 5 days or freeze up to 2 months.
Yields 20-30 pieces of vegan bacon, depending on size of mushrooms.
