Instructions
- In small bowl mix the vinegar, soy sauce, garlic, bay leaves, black pepper, and sugar. Mix well and set aside.
- Press and dry the tofu. Then, slice it into 5 slices.
- In a large baking dish, place the tofu slices and pour the soy sauce mixture.
- Marinate the tofu for 2 hours or overnight. The longer it marinates, the more flavorful it will be.
- Once the tofu is marinated, in large pan over medium high heat, heat the oil. Then carefully place the tofu in the hot pan. Do not add the marinade.
- Fry the tofu for 3 minutes. Then, flip and fry the other side for another 3 minutes. Once the tofu is nice and fried on both sides, pour the marinade.
- Cook under medium low heat for 10 minutes or until most of the liquid has evaporated.
- Garnish with green onion and serve hot.

Notes
- This is great served with rice or vegetables.
- This is great served with rice or vegetables.
- Use non-reactive kitchenware: (Since the sauce uses acidic vinegar) Like stainless steel, ceramic, or enamel-coated items, and avoid copper, cast iron, and aluminum.
- Adjust the shape: You could cut the slices of tofu into triangles or small cubes, etc.
- Tweak any ingredients: Adjust the sauce flavor to your liking by adjusting any of the elements. Some prefer it to be tangier, some sweeter, etc. You can really cater the tofu adobo recipe to you.
- Adjust the sauce consistency: For a saucier dish, add some water/vegetable broth. For a thicker sauce, add cornstarch slurry and simmer until it thickens.
