Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 300 grams plant-based pork strips
- 200 grams extra firm tofu
- 1 large red onion
- 3 garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 lime
- 2 green chilies
- 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 2 tablespoons vegan mayonnaise
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 2 stalks scallions
- 1 for garnish lemon
Instructions
Start by pressing the extra firm tofu for 15 minutes to remove excess moisture. After pressing, cut it into small cubes.
Finely chop the red onion and garlic cloves. Slice the green chilies thinly. Chop the scallions for garnish and set aside.
In a large skillet over medium heat, add 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil. Once hot, add the tofu cubes and fry until golden brown on all sides, about 5-7 minutes. Remove and set aside.
In the same skillet, add another tablespoon of vegetable oil. Sauté the chopped onions and garlic for about 2 minutes until fragrant.
Add the plant-based pork strips to the skillet. Stir-fry for 5 minutes or until they are slightly browned.
Return the fried tofu to the skillet. Add soy sauce, black pepper, and salt. Mix well to combine.
Stir in the sliced green chilies and cook for an additional 2 minutes.
Lower the heat and mix in vegan mayonnaise. Stir until everything is well combined and creamy.
Squeeze the juice of one lime over the mixture and give it a final stir.
Remove from heat and transfer the sisig to a sizzling plate or a regular serving platter.
Garnish with chopped scallions and serve with lemon wedges on the side.
