Ingredients
- Cooking oil
- 349 g firm tofu cut into cubes
- ¼ cup mayonnaise
- ½ tbsp liquid seasoning
- ½ tbsp oyster sauce
- 1-2 tbsp calamansi juice
- Salt & pepper to taste
- 1 onion finely chopped
- 2-4 red & green chili deseeded
Instructions
-
In a pan over medium-high heat. Add cooking oil, 1 inch deep. Once the oil is hot enough, add tofu cubes and fry until golden brown. You may need to turn the tofu to avoid from sticking to the pan.
-
While frying the tofu, we can prepare our sauce/coating: In a small bowl, mix mayonnaise, liquid seasoning, oyster sauce, and calamansi juice. Do a taste test and add salt & pepper if you like. Adjust according to your taste. Cover and keep this in the fridge until ready to use.
-
When the tofu is golden brown, remove from the pan and put on a strainer to drain excess oil. Remove the oil from the pan (reserve it to use later if you like).
-
In the same pan over medium heat, add 1 tbsp of oil (from the same oil you used in frying tofu). Add chopped onion and cook for 1 minute. Now, add the red & green chilis; cook for few seconds.
-
Add fried tofu and the sisig sauce. Mix everything and just let it cook for 1 minute.
-
Turn off the heat and place the tofu sisig in a serving plate. Enjoy with white rice.
Recipe Notes
- I used firm tofu.
- This dish came out a little spicy to me. It depends on you how spicy you’d like your dish to be.
- Please adjust the ingredients according to your liking. I love it creamy so I added more mayonnaise.
- The sisig sauce can be done while frying the tofu. Just make sure to check the tofu occasionally as they may stick to the pan.
