I was not a fan of Tofu before, so when my mom introduced tofu to us she just fried it and that's it I wasn't that fan of the taste and my mom always added tofu to her grocery list so I had no choice I am the cook in the house I maybe have to research what recipe should I used to make this Tofu.
Until I discovered this recipe that changed my taste pallet and started liking tofu. The dish I am going to cook it what we Sisig Tofu, which is the healthier version of the famous Sisig here in the Philippines, the original sisig came from some part of pig meat, and pig meat is hella expensive right now, so we go to the more budget-friendly food. LOL
I saw that the ASEAN Hive Challenge "Chef Challenge: Tofu" is the main ingredient and I had my entry with me so I am going to join this week's challenge. I hope you enjoy it! :D
Ingredients I Used:
- Half Cup of Cooking Oil
- Pinch of Salt
- 1/2 tsp. of Ground Pepper
- Block of Tofu
- 1 can of tuna
- Tablespoon of Buttter
- 3 Red Onion
- 7 cloves of Garlic
- 2 eggs
- 2tbsp. Light Soy Sauce
- 4 tbsp. of Oyster Sauce
- Tablespoon of Mayonnaise
- 1 calamansi
- 3 small red chili
Prepping The Ingredients:
Let's start Cooking!
The first step I am going to do is to fry the tofu, In a hot pan I added about a half cup of cooking oil. Then I added a sprinkle of salt into the oil, which will add a flavor to the tofu.
Another thing is to add a pinch of ground pepper into the oil to add more aroma to the tofu.
When all the spices and condiments are in, I am going to add one by one the tofu in. Let it fry, do not try to move it around with your spatula, it tends to stick to the pan when it is still frying but eventually, it will when it turns golden brown.
When the fried tofu cools down, I cut it in half and cut it into cube size.
Next, I like combining canned tuna with tofu, so what I do first is to remove the oil from the tuna.
I let it cook for a minute, after that I added a tablespoon of butter.
Let the butter melt and then mix it, cook the tuna until it turns crispy.
Now that the tuna is cooked, I added the aromatics like garlic and red onion but I left some for the garnish for later. I sauteed them until the aroma smelled.
I just cook it like scrambled eggs.
After that, I added 2 tablespoons of light soy sauce to the pan. Mix it until well combined.
The next step is to add the fried tofu and I add about 4 tablespoons of oyster sauce or when the tofu is well coated.
Mix them until all the condiments are well combined.
After plating it, I added the red onion I set aside and the red chili on the top of the tofu and then I added a tablespoon of mayonnaise on the top.
Wahhlaaa!! Sisig Tofu! Ready to be eaten. Happy Eating everybody! :D
