Spicy tofu jerky made easy in your dehydrator. This gets better both in texture and flavor once it is refrigerated so make sure to plan ahead.

Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 12 servings

  • 1 (16 ounce) package extra-firm tofu, pressed and drained

  • ¼ cup soy sauce

  • 2 tablespoons Sriracha

  • 1 teaspoon liquid smoke flavoring

  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder

Directions

  1. Slice tofu block in half lengthwise, then slice widthwise into 1/8- to 1/4-inch slices. Lay strips on a clean work surface.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. Remove the lid from the dehydrator and let strips cool for 1 hour for further drying. Place in an airtight container and refrigerate.

Cook's Note:

I recommend refrigerating the jerky for 8 hours for the best "beef" jerky-like texture.
