Tofu Jerky Recipe - Food.com image

This is a nice substitution for beef jerky, as it provides the saltiness and smoky flavor (it has been a long time since I've had real beef jerky, though, so I may not be the best judge). The texture will not be the same, of course, but it is chewy and satisfying. Enjoy!

Total Time 12 hours 15 minutes

Prep Time 15 minutes

Cook Time 12 hours

Yield 12 pieces

Number Of Ingredients 8

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)

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.

Tofu Jerky Recipe | MyRecipes image

Tofu + a handful of kitchen staple ingredients are all you'll need to prepare this delicious vegan snack. Before serving, let jerky cool completely. (Slices will get a bit crisper as they cool.) The leftovers will keep refrigerated in a sealed container for up to 1 week.

Provided by Mark Bittman

Total Time 1 hours 40 minutes

Prep Time 10 minutes

Cook Time 1 hours 30 minutes

Yield Serves: 4

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 pound firm tofu
1 tablespoon tomato paste
1 teaspoon soy sauce
½ teaspoon cumin
½ teaspoon smoked paprika
2 teaspoons brown sugar
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon chili powder

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 225°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment or a silicon mat. Cut block of tofu in half horizontally and blot dry. Cut each half the long way into slices a bit thicker than 1/8 inch (you should have about 28 slices total). Lay them on prepared baking sheet, preferably touching. Bake for 30 minutes.
  • Stir together remaining ingredients with 1 Tbsp. water to make a basting sauce. Lightly brush tops of baked tofu slices with half of sauce and bake for another 15 minutes. Flip slices and cook for another 30 minutes, then lightly brush tops with sauce; bake for another 15 minutes. Tofu should be chewy (not crunchy) and still very pliable.
  • Let jerky cool completely. (Slices will get a bit crisper as they cool.) Serve immediately, or refrigerate in a sealed container for up to 1 week.
