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)
Preparation
-
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.
