Serves: 4 8 oz smoked tofu portions
Ingredients
  • 2 - 16 oz blocks of tofu
  • ¼ cup soy sauce or gluten-free tamari sauce
  • A 1 gallon zip top bag
  • Wood chips, for smoking
  • Cooking spray, for the grill rack
Instructions
  1. Cut each block tofu into 2 thin pieces by cutting it in half down the side. Place tofu in a single layer on a plate and place another plate on top (I use 2 plate sets to make all the tofu fit). Place a few cans or something of equal weight on the top plate to press the tofu. Press for 30 minutes and drain excess moisture.
  2. Combine soy sauce or tamari (if gluten free is desired) and tofu in the zip top bag. Marinade until tofu has mostly absorbed the sauce, about 45 minutes.
  3. Prep your smoker with a water basin and smoking chips (smokers vary, follow instructions for your smoker). Spray grill rack with cooking spray to keep the tofu from sticking.
  4. Smoke tofu at 225°F for 80-90 minutes, or until it's golden brown.
Optional step
  1. Vacuum seal tofu pieces in individual bags. They keep for up to 3 months refrigerated and vacuum sealed.
