WATCH: How To Make Tofu Sisig

This is how you can make your favorite sisig a little healthier: use tofu! 

Yes, it’s delicious like you would expect sisig to be. Instead of meat, there is more flavor from the sauce, especially in the tiny squares of tofu itself. The tangy, salty, and spicy sauce that’s simmered with the tofu is absorbed by the crisp tokwa chunks.  

What you can expect from this meat-free version is an explosion of flavor in every tofu bite.
