Pork Adobo with Tofu Recipe

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

Pork Adobo with Tofu is an adobo recipe version that I really like. It has the good taste of our favorite Pork Adobo along with the chewy texture of tofu. Pork and Tofu in Oyster Sauce has a similar texture, but tastes different.

Pork Adobo with Tofu

I made this Pork Adobo with Tofu dish because I want to enjoy adobo without feeling guilty about it. I’m trying to gradually cut my red meat consumption to maintain normal blood pressure and cholesterol levels. I realized that it is hard to completely turn your back on something that you like. So, in order for me to slowly cut down on pork, I thought of adding tofu.

If you can see, I tried avoiding the fats by selecting lean pork slices (though a little fat is necessary for flavor). I also used a lot of garlic. As for the tofu, it serves as a pork substitute. I can eat 50% less pork if I substitute tofu for the other half — or at least that’s what I’m forcing myself to believe in.

On a more serious note, my purpose is to show everyone how you can easily convert a traditional Pork Adobo recipe to another version or form by simply adding new ingredients. This will make your cooking experience more fun because you are adjusting or altering recipes based on your preference.

Try this Pork Adobo with Tofu Recipe and let me know what you think.

    Vanjo, For step 4 how long do you simmer the pork for it to be tender?

      It depends on the quality of the pork. It usually takes around 30 to 60 mins.
