Begin by pressing the firm tofu to remove excess water; wrap it in a clean towel and place a weight on top for 15 minutes.
Once the tofu is pressed, cut both the firm tofu and seitan into small cubes.
Finely chop the red onion, garlic, and green chili peppers. Set aside for later use.
In a skillet, heat coconut oil over medium heat, then add the cubed tofu. Fry until golden brown on all sides. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
Using the same skillet, melt the vegan butter and sauté the red onions until they become translucent.
Add the garlic and green chili peppers to the skillet and continue cooking for about 2 minutes, or until fragrant.
Return the fried tofu to the skillet and add the cubed seitan. Stir to combine.
Add soy sauce, lime juice, salt, and black pepper to the mixture. Stir and cook for an additional 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
In a bowl, mix the vegan mayonnaise with silken tofu until smooth and creamy. Gradually add this mixture to the skillet, ensuring everything is well-coated.
Transfer the sisig mixture onto a pre-heated sizzling plate or skillet and serve immediately, topped with additional green chili slices if desired.
