Tofu Jerky

8 ingredients
7 steps

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup soy sauce
  • 3 tablespoons liquid smoke
  • 1/8 cup water
  • 1 tablespoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder or 1 crushed fresh garlic clove
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ground black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon honey
  • 1 lb extra firm tofu (not silken type)

Directions

  1. 1
    Cut the cube of tofu horizontally into four pieces, and then slice it into strips (I had a total of 12). The strips should be about 4 millimeters in thickness. They're going to shrink a lot in the oven, so they should start out pretty thick.
  2. 2
    Mix all the other ingredients together.
  3. 3
    Arrange the tofu in a single layer in a shallow baking pan or cookie sheet and pour the marinade over it.
  4. 4
    Let it soak for several hours or overnight.
  5. 5
    Drain excess liquid and dry tofu in food dehydrator or 200 F oven. This will take 4 to 8 hours, depending on the weather (it took six hours for me in the oven).
  6. 6
    Flip the tofu over hourly so it dries evenly.
  7. 7
    Dry the jerky until it is very chewy, but not crispy.
