Cajun Tofu Jerky Recipes

Steps:

• Cut the drained tofu into long narrow strips(about 1/4" thickness). They may look big, but they will shrink during baking.
• In a bowl, whisk the Braggs(or soy sauce), liquid smoke, water, cajun spice, and honey.
• Place the tofu strips in a shallow baking pan or cookie sheet and pour the marinade over them. Let marinate for at least 2 hours or up to overnight for best results.
• Cook the tofu in a food dehydrator, using directions, or bake in the oven for about 4-6 hours at 200*F.
• Turn the tofu over once every hour to bake it evenly. Continue until the texture is very chewy, but not crispy. This will keep indefinitely. Store in a container with a tight fitting lid.
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• Whisk together soy sauce, hot water, Worcestershire sauce, liquid smoke, onion powder, garlic powder, cayenne pepper, Creole seasoning, and Cajun seasoning in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave for about 1 minute; stir well. Add beef and toss to evenly coat. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap; marinate in the refrigerator, 8 hours or overnight. Remove meat from marinade and rinse with hot water.
• Preheat oven to 160 degrees F (70 degrees C). Place a pan on the bottom of oven to catch drips.
• Place meat strips on a rack about 1 inch apart from each other; dehydrate in the oven for 5 to 6 hours, or until desired consistency is achieved.

Steps:

• 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.
• Mix all the other ingredients together.
• Arrange the tofu in a single layer in a shallow baking pan or cookie sheet and pour the marinade over it.
• Let it soak for several hours or overnight.
• 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).
• Flip the tofu over hourly so it dries evenly.
• Dry the jerky until it is very chewy, but not crispy.

Steps:

• In a small bowl, combine all ingredients except meat. Stir to mix well.
• Place meat in a single layer keep in a glass container, spooning mixture over each layer. Cover tightly. Marinate 6 to 12 hours in the refrigerator.
• Dry in an electric dehydrator at 145 degrees F. until pliable. Package in home canning jars, food grade plastic bags or seal by heat food storage bags. For long term storage keep in freezer.

Steps:

• Slice tofu block in half lengthwise, then slice widthwise into 1/8- to 1/4-inch slices. Lay strips on a clean work surface.
• Whisk soy sauce, Sriracha, liquid smoke, and garlic powder in a bowl. Brush sauce over top side of tofu strips. Carefully flip strips over and brush other side with sauce.
• Place the strips on the rack of a dehydrator. Set temperature to 145 degrees Fahrenheit (63 degrees Celsius). Dehydrate for 2 hours. Flip strips over and dehydrate 1 hour more.
• Remove the lid from the dehydrator and let strips cool for 1 hour for further drying. Place in an airtight container and refrigerate.
