Tips for Perfect Crispy Tofu

• Use medium-high heat to get crisp golden edges.
• Shallow-frying works—no need for deep frying.
• If you prefer less oil, you can air-fry or bake the tofu.

How to Make ₱158 Sizzling Tofu Sisig

1. Prep & Fry the Tofu

Drain the tofu well, pat dry, and fry until golden and crisp. Set aside and keep warm.

2. Build the Garlic-Onion Base

Sauté garlic until fragrant, add the onions until softened, then stir in green chilies for mild heat.

3. Whisk the Creamy Sisig Sauce

Combine the mayonnaise, fish sauce, soy sauce, oyster sauce, sugar, and black pepper until smooth. Taste and adjust.

4. Toss Everything Together

Return the tofu to the pan, pour in the sauce, and toss gently over low heat.
Do not boil—the mayo may split.

5. Serve Sizzling Hot

Transfer immediately to a preheated sizzling plate.
Top with red and green chilies.
Serve with steamed rice and calamansi or lime.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I bake the tofu instead of frying it?

Absolutely. Toss tofu cubes in a little oil and bake at 200°C (400°F) for 20–25 minutes, flipping once. Continue with the recipe as usual.

How do I make this fully vegan?

Use vegan mayo and swap fish sauce for soy sauce or vegan fish sauce. Everything else stays the same.
