To make Sesame Ginger Tofu Jerky, you will need the following ingredients:
- 1 block of firm tofu
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon grated ginger
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon water
- Sesame seeds, for garnish
To start, preheat your oven to 200°F. Cut the tofu into thin strips and set aside. In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, ginger, garlic, sesame oil, honey, and rice vinegar. Pour the marinade over the tofu strips and let them marinate for at least 30 minutes.
In a separate bowl, mix together the cornstarch and water to create a slurry. Dip each tofu strip into the slurry, then place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Sprinkle sesame seeds over the top of each strip.
Bake the tofu strips in the oven for 2-3 hours, or until they are dry and crispy. The longer you bake them, the crispier they will become. Once they are done, remove them from the oven and let them cool completely.
