Tofu Adobo

Philippines

Chicken Adobo, but make it vegan. We are not averse to meat substitutes and that it can be scrumptious just proves this traditional Filipino dish.

Ingredients

1 tablespoon of garlic

2 teaspoons brown sugar

2 tablespoons water

1 teaspoon cornstarch

Chive leaves for garnish

Fry diced tofu in oil until lightly golden brown. Drain on kitchen paper.
In a sauce pan, combine the soy sauce, vinegar, garlic, bay leaves, peppercorns and sugar. Place the pan over medium-high heat and cook for 1-2 minutes.
Season to taste and add a little water if necessary to thin the sauce.
Thicken the sauce with the diluted cornstarch before pouring it over the tokwa and garnish with some chive leaves.
