Introduction

Adapted from the Dehydrator Bible, this recipe infuses thinly sliced tofu with a sweet, savoury and slightly spicy marinade before dehydrating it to chewy, easy to store strips. Store in the fridge or freezer for longest shelf life, since tofu contains fat it can still go rancid even when dried!

Ingredients

    1 lb low-fat extra firm tofu, frozen, thawed and pressed
    2 tbsp raw sugar
    1/2 tsp ground ginger
    1/2 tsp garlic powder
    1/2 tsp black pepper
    2 tbsp tamari
    1 tbsp water
    2 tsp sriracha
    2 tsp rice vinegar

Directions

Cut the tofu in half horizontally and slice into 1/4" strips.
Place in one layer in a shallow container and set aside.
Whisk together the remaining ingredients in a small bowl and pour over the tofu strips, making sure to coat evenly. Cover and refrigerate overnight.
Remove tofu from the marinade, discarding marinade, and arrange on dehydrator trays.
Dry at 155F for 14 hours, turning over after 8 hours. Jerky is done when it is dry, firm and easy to break apart with your hands.
