Guest guest Posted February 21, 2006 Report Share Posted February 21, 2006 Okay, thanks! That was my guess but wanted to make sure. I bought some Tofu Steaks and am going to try them with your recipe. Thanks! Shelly , " Dr. Elizabeth Riggs " <ewriggs wrote: > > Nope! Sho' don't!

Guest guest Posted March 30, 2006 Report Share Posted March 30, 2006 GMTA, Christiane LOL! Years ago I used to make these in the food dryer using almost exactly the same ingredients. Boy, were they good! Sometimes I'd make spicy ones with hot sauce or cayenne pepper and leave out the maple syrup. Other times, I'd use teriyaki sauce mixed with soy sauce for the marinade. If I were to make some now, I'd use chipotle powder for that smoky taste and leave out the liquid smoke. The longer you leave them in the dehydrator or the higher the temperature you set your dehydrater on, the dryer they'll be, and they can approach the texture of jerkey.

Guest guest Posted March 30, 2006 Report Share Posted March 30, 2006 Maybe I took mine out too soon then. They are rather chewy, but just not completely like real jerky. Chipolte powder sounds excellent. I'm going to have to try that next! Christiane - " Sherry Rose " <sherry Thursday, March 30, 2006 11:35 AM Re: Tofu Jerky > GMTA, Christiane LOL!

Guest guest Posted November 10, 2007 Report Share Posted November 10, 2007 does anyone have a good recipe for tofu jerky or any other meat/dairy less jerky? thanks Rick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 14, 2007 Report Share Posted November 14, 2007 Hi Rick, When I make it, I just use my dehydrator. I slice tofu into 1/4 thick slices and marinate a few hours in tamari sauce, onion powder, and garlic powder. Hope that helps!

Guest guest Posted April 26, 2009 Report Share Posted April 26, 2009 Chico, Have you ever made Toful Jerky? If not it is one of the easiest dried foods to make and just delicious. And here's the best part. You can use your own favorite flavored marinade . I like to slice the extra firm Tofu thin and soak it in marinade overnight in the fridge. It works best if you use a flat baking dish and place the pieces so that each one is covered and becomes saturated with the marinade. I use Bragg Liquid Aminos or any Soy Sauce. Soak overnight in the fridge and the next day remove the pieces, pat dry and place the pieces on the racks of your dehydrator. You can also dry the pieces in the oven at the lowest temperature.
