PORK CHOP STEAK RECIPE

If Japanese Style Crispy Tofu or Agedashi Tofu and Filipino Bistek Tagalog had a vegan baby — this Filipino Style Tofu Steak is it!

These Filipino Style Tofu Steaks or Tokwa Bistek are fried slabs of tofu with a thick savoury and tangy sauce drizzled over and topped with sautéed white onions for that extra texture and sweetness. This is delicious with a bowl of steamed rice or Filipino garlic rice (singangag!)

Filipino Style Tofu Steak (Tokwa Bistek)

17.5 oz extra firm tofu (or tokwa)

tbsp calamansi juice

garlic powder

all purpose flour

Neutral oil

onion

corn starch

1.5 tbsp room temperature water

Remaining oil

red onion (, diced)

garlic (, minced)

Leftover marinade

water or vegetable stock (see notes)

vegetable cube or bouillon (optional (see notes))

tbsp sugar (adjust

tbsp vegetarian oyster sauce

soy sauce (adjust to taste)

spring onions or chives for topping

rice Garlic Rice (Sinangag)

Press your tofu to drain excess water. I do so by wrapping it in a kitchen towel and place a few heavy chopping boards over it.

Slice the tofu into 3/4-inch (2-cm) thick pieces.

In a large container, mix together the soy sauce, calamansi/lime/lemon juice, garlic, and pepper.

Add the tofu in and coat into the marinade. Leave to marinate for at least 30 minutes. You can also prepare this in advance and leave to marinate overnight in the refrigerator.

Prepare the Tofu

Place the flour (if using) on a plate.

Coat each piece of tofu into the flour mix.

Coating the Tofu

Check the notes below if you’re cooking the tofu without any coating.

Heat a large pan or wok over medium high heat.

Add some oil for pan-frying. Once hot (you’ll see some small bubbles), add the tofu.

Cook until lightly golden and crisp. You may need to cook this in batches depending on the size of your pot or pan.

Remove the tofu from the oil and place on a strainer or a plate with some paper towels.

Cook the Tofu

Mix together the corn starch and water until the starch is dissolved. Set aside.

Cornstarch Slurry

Lessen the oil from your pan/wok.

Stir-fry the white onion rings until tender. You can opt to stir-fry for a shorter term if you want these crunchier. Set aside.

In the same pan/wok over medium heat, stir-fry the onion and garlic.

Add in the leftover marinade, water/stock, and vegetable cube/bouillon (if using).

Season with sugar, vegetarian oyster sauce, and soy sauce.

Leave to simmer until it comes to a boil.

Lower the heat. Give the cornstarch slurry another mix (since the starch can settled at the bottom).

Pour the slurry into the sauce. Mix well and allow it to thicken.

Add in the calamansi/lemon/lime juice and mix well. Taste the sauce and feel free to season more, if needed.

To thin out the sauce, you can add 1-2 tbsp more water and mix well.

Stir-frying

Place the fried tofu on a plate. When ready to enjoy, pour the hot sauce over the tofu. Add in the sautéed onion rings on top and garnish with chives/green onions.

Serve immediately. This is best enjoyed with rice or Fried Garlic Rice (Sinangag).

Can I keep the sauce and tofu separate?Yes! I actually recommend the keep the sauce and tofu separate especially if you intend to have leftovers or if making this in big batches. This way the tofu won’t soak in the sauce since the flour coating can easily be stripped off the tofu when left for too long.

To Serve

Absolutely delicious! 
I served with noodles and stir fried veg in some of the thinned down sauce. I'm excited to try the fried garlic rice next time.
