Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams jackfruit (young, canned or fresh)
- 3 tablespoons coconut oil
- 1 large red onion
- 4 garlic cloves
- 1 green chili pepper
- 1 red chili pepper
- 4 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 lime
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 200 grams tofu (extra firm)
- 3 stalks spring onions
- 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
Instructions
Begin by draining the canned jackfruit or peeling and removing seeds from the fresh jackfruit. Shred the jackfruit into smaller pieces.
Heat 2 tablespoons of coconut oil in a large pan over medium heat.
Dice the red onion and mince the garlic cloves. Add them to the pan and sauté until the onion becomes translucent.
Chop the green and red chili peppers; add them to the pan and continue to cook for another minute.
Add the shredded jackfruit to the pan, stirring well to combine with the onions and garlic.
Pour in the soy sauce, juice from 1 lime, black pepper, and salt. Mix thoroughly.
Reduce the heat to low and let the mixture simmer for about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Meanwhile, drain and press the tofu to remove excess moisture. Cut into small cubes.
In another pan, heat the remaining tablespoon of coconut oil and fry the tofu cubes until golden brown on all sides. Set aside.
Once the jackfruit mixture is done simmering, add the tofu cubes into the pan. Stir to mix everything together.
Drizzle apple cider vinegar and juice from the second lime over the top, then stir again to combine.
Transfer the sisig mixture onto a preheated sizzling plate or hot cast iron skillet.
Chop the spring onions and sprinkle on top before serving.
Serve the Dairy-Free Sizzling Sisig hot, optionally garnished with additional lime wedges and more chopped chili peppers for added heat.
