Salted Egg Tofu Sisig may sound healthy because it’s tofu. However, the delicious goodness of salted egg makes it a bit sinful. But hey! It’s still healthier compared to pork sisig. Don’t get me wrong. Pork sisig is still the best version of sisig.

One thing made this tofu sisig extra special and extra flavorful is the mashed salted eggs. Yeah! The salted egg adds extra flavor and creaminess to the tofu sisig. It’s somewhat healthy and somewhat sinful but one thing is for sure, it is addicting.
Tips
This Salted Egg Tofu Recipe is made extra flavorful with the addition of salted eggs. I used to salted eggs for this recipe and included the egg whites since I don’t want it to go to waste. Want it extra flavorful? Use 3 to 4 salted eggs but this time only use the yolks. After all, the yolks what gave that addicting creamy and savory flavor. You can find broken salted eggs in the local market at a lower price.
I added red and green chili to this dish and sauté it with the garlic to release its flavor. You can add more if you want and I bet it will turn out really great.
