Guest guest Posted February 20, 2006 Report Share Posted February 20, 2006 Hmmm - your tofu Oven Bites reminds me of my Tofu Jerky recipe! Use firm or extra-firm tofu. Slice into approximately 1/4 inch slices, and drain on paper towels or kitchen towels for about 30 minutes. While the tofu drains, mix 1/2 cup low-salt soy sauce and 1/2 cup Teriyaki sauce. (I use Kikkoman, and as an aside, the lo-salt Teriyaki sauce is gross!) If you like it spicy, add a dash or 4 of Tabasco! Lay tofu slices out in a shallow baking dish or rimmed cookie sheet. Pour the sauce over it. Allow to soak for at least 30 minutes, then turn the tofu slices and allow to soak for at least another 30 minutes. (OR, if so desired, allow to soak in the refrigerator overnight. This will make it more tangy.) Drain off the sauce, then put the baking dish in the oven at 150deg F for 4 hours. Turn the slices and bake for another 4 hours. If the tofu is still " soggy, " turn and bake for another 2-4 hours. When " done, " the tofu will be just short of crispy. I usually make about 4 bricks of tofu jerky at a time because it gets gone so fast. This can be done in a dehydrator, if you have one - just lay out in a single layer - set on low (if it has a temp setting) and let dry out for 10 hours. Flip over and allow to dry another 10 or so hours. Cheerio!
