Ingredients

• 500 grams Chicken breast
• 200 grams Firm tofu
• 1 large Red onion
• 3 cloves Garlic
• 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons Calamansi juice
• 2 pieces Green chili pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 1 large Egg
• 2 stalks Spring onions

Directions

Step 1

Begin by poaching the chicken breast in a pot of simmering water for about 15 minutes or until fully cooked. Once cooked, remove from water, let it cool slightly, and chop into small cubes.

Step 2

While the chicken is cooking, cut the firm tofu into small cubes. Place them on a paper towel and press gently to remove excess water.

Step 3

In a non-stick skillet over medium heat, add the olive oil. Once hot, add the cubed tofu. Cook, turning occasionally, until all sides are golden brown and crispy. Remove from the skillet and set aside.

Step 4

Finely chop the red onion and mince the garlic cloves. Slice the green chili peppers into thin rings, removing the seeds if a milder heat is preferred.

Step 5

In the same skillet, add a little more olive oil if necessary. Add the chopped onion and garlic, sauté until the onion is translucent and the garlic is fragrant.

Step 6

Mix in the chopped chicken and sauté for a few more minutes before adding the crisp tofu cubes.

Step 7

Pour in the soy sauce and calamansi juice, then add ground black pepper and salt to taste. Stir until evenly coated.

Step 8

Crack an egg over the mixture, stir quickly to scramble and distribute throughout the sisig. This will help bind the ingredients together.

Step 9

Finish with sliced green chili peppers and chopped spring onions, stirring well to combine.

Step 10

Serve immediately on a hot sizzling platter, if available, to get the authentic sisig experience.
