Instructions
  1. Place peanuts in food processor, pulse until they are broken down. Add the garlic and ginger and continue pulsing until well mixed. Use a spatula to scrape down the sides as needed.
  2. Add the rice vinegar, tamari and honey to the peanut mix and pulse until well mixed, once again using a spatula to scrape down the sides as needed.
  3. Add the coconut milk and water to the mix in the processor and pulse until completely blended. Pour into a bowl or jar and set aside.
  4. Drain the tofu and cut each one-pound block into 8 slices approximately 1/2 inch thick.
  5. Pour half of peanut sauce into a bowl or baking dish – it should be enough to cover the entire bottom. Add slices of tofu to cover the sauce, then top them with the rest of the sauce. Depending on the size of your dish, you may need to do the tofu and sauce in several layers – this is fine.
  6. Cover the tofu and place in the refrigerator to marinate for 4 to 8 hours. It can be left overnight, too, as long as it is refrigerated.
  7. Remove the tofu from the marinade with a slotted spoon or spatula (to allow the sauce to drain off) and place it on the dehydrator trays leaving ample room between slices for air circulation.
  8. Set the dehydrator at 131 (or your machine’s similar temperature) for 8-10 hours. Rotate the trays every 2 hours for even drying. When the process is complete, the tofu should be chewy, not crisp or brittle.
  9. Store dehydrated tofu in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
