Instructions

Pressing and Marinating

2-12 hours

Wrap tofu in kitchen towels and press with a heavy object for at least 30 minutes. Mix marinade, add tofu and marinate for at least 2 hours (preferably overnight) in the refrigerator.

Smoking

3-4 hours

Preheat smoker to 90-110 °C. Drain tofu and place on an oiled wire rack. Smoke with beech and apple wood for 3-4 hours, turning halfway through.

Cooling and Storing

30 minutes

Let smoked tofu cool at room temperature for 30 minutes. Keeps in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Can also be frozen.

Pro Tip

The drier the tofu before smoking, the better it absorbs the smoky flavor. Best to press the tofu overnight in the refrigerator.
