1/2 C Low Salt Soy Sauce
3 T Liquid Smoke
1/8 C water or dry sherry
1 clove fresh garlic
1 T onion powder
1 t fructose
1 lb. extra firm tofu, sliced to 1/4″ thick strips

Slice tofu and express water between several layers of paper towels, remove as much water as possible so that it can absorb more of the marinade. Place on a screen rack to allow water to evaporate a little more. Mix all ingredients except tofu slices together in a bowl.  Place marinade in a high sided cookie sheet or in a cake pan, and place tofu slices into the marinade. Let them soak for several hours or overnight.  Place tofu strips onto a vegetable oil sprayed cookie sheet set oven to 200 degrees Use a spatula to flip it over once every hour until dried.  Note:  These are suppose to be a chewy jerky not a crispy jerky.
