One of my new paddling snack favorites is something pleasantly called 
"Vegie Beef Meat". Yummy. It is actually a flavored and dried very 
jerky like vegetarian beef jerky. It's really tasty and has 28 grams 
of protein per serving. We shredded some and threw it in the pan with 
some freeze-dried hashbrowns (Betty Crocker) this past weekend and it 
was great.

I get mine for a large Asian store here but seems to be made by a 
company called Hung Yang Foods Co. The word Vegie Beef Meat (I love 
saying that) are the only latin characters on the package which is a 
lovely gradated pink color.

Smoking and dehydrating tofu is common in asia. I say give it a try 
and report your results back here. Personally, I just bring a tetra 
pack of tofu along on my trips. Makes great tofu scramble and other 
things.
