Recipe: Tofu Jerky

This is a modified version of my beef jerky recipe for friends of animals. You might need to adjust it, because I don't usually use a recipe, so this is my best estimate. -Josh

You need:

At least 2 cartons of extra firm tofu (packed in water-never use the silken kind for this)
Approximately 1/2 cup soy sauce
Approximately 1/2 cup Teriyaki sauce
1 TBSP Liquid Smoke flavoring
1 TBSP Garlic Powder
1 TSP course black pepper

Slice the tofu into thin strips. Place them on a cutting board, cover them with paper towels, and then, place a heavy frying pan on top. Drain for about 30 minutes.

Mix your marinade in a container that has a lid and soak tofu in it for about 2 days.

After two days, cover an oven rack with aluminum foil, place tofu strips on it, and bake at 200 degrees for about 8 hours.

This is the best "jerky" I've ever had. It looks and tastes just like the regular stuff, but no killing was involved.
