Tofu Jerky
- 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)
- 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.
