Has anyone on the list heard of drying tofu as a protein source?
Typically I use jerky but alternate sources are always welcome,  ---

I really like the hot & spicy tofu jerky sold in the Seattle area (and
probably elsewhere -- unfortunately the brand name escapes me at the
moment), so I tried making my own.  Actually, I tried and tried again.
Each time (except for the last) it came out a little _too_ chewy (like
leather, and I don't mean 'fruit').  The best results (and easiest to
prepare as well) came when I blended the tofu with the flavoring I used
(stuff like teriyaki and hot sauce) instead of soaking slabs of sliced tofu
in sauce, then put spoonfuls of the stuff on the drier tray to dehydrate.
Still not what I would call great, but I'm determined to learn the secret
of the store-bought stuff (some day).
