1 pound extra firm tofu
1/2 cup low sodium soy sauce
3 tablespoons liquid smoke
1/8 cup water
1 tablespoon onion powder
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 clove garlic, crushed
1 tablespoon black pepper
1 teaspoon brown sugar
1. Drain liquid off tofu and sqeeze as much water out of it as you can. I place paper towels or clean dish towels on the tofu and push down on the brick for a while. Slice tofu about 1/8" thick. You want long thin strips.
2. Mix all other ingredients. Marinate tofu in this mixture for about about 2 hours. Periodically, move tofu around in mixture to be sure all tofu gets marinated.
3. Place tofu into dehydrator for about 8 hours or until tofu becomes dark brown and jerky-looking.
If you think it is too salty, decrease the soy sauce and increase the water. You can also decrease the smoke if you think it is too smoky. Next time I make it I plan to add a bit of cayenne pepper for extra heat.
