Smoked Tofu
Yes, you can smoke tofu. All you have to do is press the liquid out of it for 30 minutes. I recommend extra firm tofu. It will have the least amount of moisture. Marinate for 2 hours. Smoke for 2 hours. That’s it. Really any type of wood will work. I used apple and cherry woodchips. You can eat the tofu as is or use it in numerous recipes. Check out the recipe for string beans with smoked tofu below.
