Tofu Sisig by Sous Chef Marilou Howe

Born and raised in the Philippines, Marilou has since become a naturalized citizen of the U.S. Marilou has worked at Compass Group since 2011 and is very proud to be Filipino-American. She misses her experience farming with her parents in the Philippines but is happy to be in America cooking for students at the Savannah College of Art and Design.

INGREDIENTS
1 tablespoon oil
1 pound extra firm tofu, small diced
1 tablespoon shiitake mushrooms, diced
1 medium onion, diced
2 teaspoons garlic, minced
1 small red pepper, diced
3 small chiles, deseeded and sliced
1 tablespoon sweet soy
1 tablespoon lime juice
2 tablespoons mayonnaise
Pinch salt and pepper

DIRECTIONS

Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add tofu cubes and fry until golden brown, stirring occasionally to brown on all sides. Then transfer cooked tofu cubes to a plate to remove excess oil.

Turn heat to medium low and add the mushrooms, onion, bell pepper, garlic, and chiles to the skillet. Cook until the vegetables are just aromatic, but still crisp. Then add the cooked tofu, soy sauce, lime juice, and mayonnaise and toss until well blended. Season with salt and pepper, then serve.

As Bon Appétit continues our celebration of the vast culture and history of tofu, we`re excited to share more two of our Farm to Fork partnerships with family-owned tofu businesses: Meiji Tofu in the Los Angeles area and Bui Natural Tofu in Portland, Oregon.

Meet Meiji Tofu 👋

Kurato and Koki Sato produce an array of fresh soy products in in Gardena, California that honor traditional Japanese tofu making methods.

Their history of traditional Japanese tofu making runs deep — Kurato`s father`s side owned restaurants in Japan in the 80s and 90s. This inspired them to “instill the old-world Japanese techniques my father learned growing up,” achieved through “luck, grit, and support from friends and family.”

Behind the Scenes at Bui Natural Tofu 📽️

Minh Bui has run the company with his family since 2005 using the same methods the family used back in Vietnam.

“The tofu business is keeping our family together,” he explains. “When we`re together we are encouraged to keep our culture and pass it down to the next generations.”

Although they initially never intended to work with tofu as their mother had, the Buis realized that they couldn`t find quality tofu in the U.S. They`ve since grown from making small batches in their garage to a commercial operation!
