Deeply flavoured and toothsome, these do a surprisingly good job of imitating beef jerky or biltong.

You Will Need (6 things)

  • 200 g Smoked or plain Tofu ?(flavoured or pre-marinated ?can also be used)
  • 2 tbsp Dark Soy Sauce
  • 2 tbsp Dry Sherry
  • 1 tsp Rice Vinegar
  • Pinch of Cayenne Pepper
  • 1 tbsp Sunflower Oil

Steps (3 steps, 20 minutes)

  1. 1

    Preheat the oven to 120°C/250°F/Gas Mark ½. Pat the tofu dry with kitchen paper, then slice very thinly into about 14 strips, about 2.5 cm/1 inch wide, 7.5 cm/3 inches long and roughly 3 mm/¹⁄8 inch thick.

  2. 2

    Line a baking sheet with non-stick baking parchment. Thoroughly whisk all the remaining ingredients together in a shallow dish. Dip each piece of tofu in the mixture, then lay on the baking sheet. Spoon any remaining mixture carefully over the tofu strips.

  3. 3

    Place in the oven and cook for about 60–80 minutes, until the tofu is crisp around the 
edges, but still pliable. Leave to cool. The strips can be stored in an airtight container in 
the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
