Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Slice tofu 1/4-inch thick and brush both sides of each slice with soy sauce. Lay the slices in a single layer on a lightly oiled baking sheet.

Let marinate for 10 minutes and brush again. Bake for 30-35 minutes, turning once halfway through, until golden brown and crispy on the outside and still tender on the inside.

Allow to cool, then shred the tofu slices with a knife, creating irregular pieces appearing to be shredded chicken.

Mix with vegetables, spices and tofu spread until ingredients are well-incorporated. Chill thoroughly before serving.

* This is a great item for salads as well as sandwiches, or even served with crackers as an appetizer.
