Frequently Asked Questions:

Can I use soft tofu for tofu sisig ala max's?

It’s best to use firm or extra firm tofu for tofu sisig ala max's because it holds its shape better during frying. Soft tofu tends to break apart easily and won’t give you that crisp outer texture. If you only have softer tofu, handle it gently and consider pan-frying instead of deep frying.

How do I keep the tofu crispy in tofu sisig ala max's?

To keep the tofu crispy in tofu sisig ala max's, make sure the oil is hot enough before frying so it forms a quick crust. Avoid overcrowding the pan, as this lowers the oil temperature and makes the tofu soggy. Also, add the sauce only at the final stage and serve immediately to maintain texture.

Can I make tofu sisig ala max's without liver spread?

Yes, you can still make tofu sisig ala max's without liver spread by adjusting the seasoning to boost flavor. Try adding a bit more liquid seasoning or a small amount of soy sauce for extra depth. While the taste will be slightly different, it will still be creamy, savory, and satisfying.
