Tofu Jerky
As for the marinade you could add many other seasonings to your liking. Below is a base marinade that I start with.
Ingredients:
1/2 block of extra firm tofu
4 Tbsp tamari
1 tsp liquid smoke
1 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp paprika
Several cranks of Black pepper
Directions:
Mix all ingredients except tofu in a bowl.
Press the tofu dry being careful not to damage the integrity of the block. I cut the half block in half again and lightly press them individually between paper towels.
Cut the tofu into thin slices.
Dip tofu strips in the marinade.
Place tofu strips on a parchment paper lined baking sheet.
Bake for 2.5 to 3 hours at 200 degrees.
Before going into the oven.
After 3 hours in the oven.
Improved Instant Ramen
I eat a lot of instant ramen but generally minus the broth and stir-fried. While battling a cold this week I decided to eat it with the broth. I cooked the ramen in water along with a veggie bouillon cube, garlic, onion and turmeric powders. THe only veggie I had on hand was Brussels sprouts so I shaved and included them. I also crumbled up some tofu jerky. Was really good.
For the jerky I patted dry and thinly sliced extra firm tofu and dipped it in a mixture of tamari, liquid smoke and garlic salt. I then roasted in a 200 degree oven for 3 hours.

Tofu Chow Fun
Tofu Chow Fun
We both thought this was pretty good. I couldn’t find wide rice noodles (not even at the Asian market) so I used these broken up rice sheets labeled as “rice sticks”. If I make again I’d probably just roast the tofu instead of pan fry.
