I marinate tofu with 50/50 soy/water and some spices then dehydrate it. A really good salty protein snack. I love this idea. How do you cut it up? Just into slices about 1/4" thick. I marinate for a day in the frig and very gently stir it a couple of times. The crumbles are worth drying. The most common spices I use are ground pepper, powdered garlic, Worcestershire sauce and maybe most importantly some liquid smoke. I dry at 135F. I have mesh sheets on top of solid sheets to catch the drips at the beginning. Once no more drips I remove the solid sheets. For me the sheets are easier to clean than the racks of my Nesco. I take them out when they seem dry but a little rubbery. They firm up when they cool down.
I read about Spam jerky. Spam marinated then dried. It should be quite the salty snack. How to cut that up is still an issue. In reading about this I found out Spam had dried Spam bites for a while but I don't think they sell them anymore.

WalMart Tex-Mex trail mix is salty, spicy, and available almost everywhere at almost any time of day. It seems to be the same stuff as sold by Kroger under a thousand different names. I like to alternate days with something sweeter.

There is a vegan plant based version of Spam you can buy now. 2 flavors of it. It's quite odd looking, not as greasy either. Safeway carries it in the Spam area. Just an FYI.
