Ingredients

• 400 grams firm tofu
• 1 teaspoon liquid smoke
• 3 tablespoons soy sauce
• 3 tablespoons canola oil
• 1 large onion, finely chopped
• 1 medium green chili, chopped
• 1 medium red chili, chopped
• 2 tablespoons lime juice
• 2 tablespoons vegan mayo
• 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 1 nori sheets (seaweed), crumbled
• 2 tablespoons scallions, chopped

Directions

Step 1

Begin by draining the firm tofu and patting it dry with a paper towel. Cut it into small cubes approximately 1x1 cm.

Step 2

In a bowl, combine 1 teaspoon liquid smoke and 3 tablespoons soy sauce. Add the tofu cubes to the marinade, ensuring they are evenly coated. Let them marinate for about 10 minutes.

Step 3

Heat 2 tablespoons of canola oil in a large non-stick pan over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, add the marinated tofu cubes. Fry until they are brown and crispy, about 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally to brown all sides. Remove the tofu from the pan and set aside.

Step 4

In the same pan, add 1 tablespoon of canola oil. Add the finely chopped onion and sauté till it becomes translucent, about 3-5 minutes.

Step 5

Add the chopped green and red chilies to the pan, and continue cooking for 2 more minutes.

Step 6

Return the crispy tofu to the pan with the onion and chili mix. Stir in the lime juice and vegan mayo until well combined.

Step 7

Season the mixture with ground black pepper, garlic powder, and salt to taste. Continue to cook for another 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.

Step 8

Add the crumbled nori sheets and mix well into the tofu mixture, imparting a subtle sea flavor.

Step 9

Once cooked, transfer the Vegan Bangus Sisig to a serving platter and garnish with chopped scallions.

Step 10

Serve hot alongside steaming rice or inside a lettuce wrap for a low-carb option.
