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

Directions

Step 1

Start by pressing the extra firm tofu for 15 minutes to remove excess moisture. After pressing, cut it into small cubes.

Step 2

Finely chop the red onion and garlic cloves. Slice the green chilies thinly. Chop the scallions for garnish and set aside.

Step 3

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.

Step 4

In the same skillet, add another tablespoon of vegetable oil. Sauté the chopped onions and garlic for about 2 minutes until fragrant.

Step 5

Add the plant-based pork strips to the skillet. Stir-fry for 5 minutes or until they are slightly browned.

Step 6

Return the fried tofu to the skillet. Add soy sauce, black pepper, and salt. Mix well to combine.

Step 7

Stir in the sliced green chilies and cook for an additional 2 minutes.

Step 8

Lower the heat and mix in vegan mayonnaise. Stir until everything is well combined and creamy.

Step 9

Squeeze the juice of one lime over the mixture and give it a final stir.

Step 10

Remove from heat and transfer the sisig to a sizzling plate or a regular serving platter.

Step 11

Garnish with chopped scallions and serve with lemon wedges on the side.
