Smoked Tofu Jerky
Time to break out the smoker and try this recipe.
The prep...

Freezing and Defrosting the Tofu


Freeze the tofu at least overnight.
The next morning, take the tofu out of the freezer and place it in the fridge to thaw.
By dinner time (8 hours or so later), the tofu should be thawed. Remove tofu from the packaging and gently press some of the water out.
Marinating the Tofu
Cut the tofu across its short end into slices about ¼” (1/2 cm) in thickness.
Place the tofu slices into a container or clean plastic bag that seals tightly.
Add the dry spices (Tex-Mex, black pepper, spicy pepper flakes) to the tofu first.
Shake the bag/container to distribute the spices.
Shake about 1-11/2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce into the bag/container.
Add soy sauce.
Shake the bag/container gently to distribute the wet ingredients and spices, massaging the tofu through the bag if necessary.
Add additional wet ingredients if they have been completely absorbed by the tofu.
Marinate overnight, for up to 12 hours.

After smoking for 3 hours or more...yum!
