Try this meatless version of a Filipino favorite—you don’t even need a hot plate for it!
Ingredients:
2 blocks, around 300 grams each of firm tofu (tokwa), rinsed and patted dry
2 onion, diced, divided
10 cloves garlic, minced, divided
1 siling labuyo (bird’s eye chili), minced
vegetable oil, as needed
3 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon ginger, grated or finely minced
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon coarse salt
1 teaspoon black pepper
3 tablespoons cane vinegar
1 tablespoon muscovado sugar
1 tablespoon calamansi juice
1 tablespoon Knorr Liquid Seasoning
Procedures:
1 Slice one 300-gram tofu block into 1/4-inch cubes. Place in a bowl and toss with marinade. Let it sit for at least 10 minutes.
2 Slice the other 300-gram tofu block into 1/4-inch thick slabs. Rub both sides with dry rub.
3 Heat vegetable oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat. Fry the dry rubbed tofu slabs until crispy and golden brown on both sides, about seven minutes.
4 Drain on a paper towel-lined dish; when cool enough to handle, chop into 1/4-inch cubes. Set aside.
5 Heat oil in the same pan over medium-high heat. Sauté onion, garlic cloves, and siling labuyo for about five minutes.
6 Add the marinated tofu and bell pepper. Stir-fry until the tofu browns and the bell pepper softens.
7 Remove from the heat and add the remaining ingredients, including Knorr Liquid Seasoning, and the sauce. Mix well and serve with sliced calamansi and brown rice.
