Tofu Jerky Ii Recipes

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.

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.
