Instructions
- Remove tofu from packaging and drain from packing liquid. Wrap in paper towels, set over a wire rack or colander, and weigh down with a saucer or cup for about 15 to 20 minutes to extract moisture. Cut into 1-inch cubes.
- In a pot over medium heat, combine pork belly, water, vinegar, bay leaf, 1 teaspoon of salt, and ¼ teaspoon pepper.
- Bring to boil uncovered and without stirring for about 3 to 5 minutes. Skim scum that floats on top.
- Lower heat, cover, and cook for about 30 to 40 minutes until meat is tender. Add more water as needed in ½ cup increments to maintain about 1 cup of liquid. Drain meat, reserving liquid.
- Meanwhile, in a pan over medium heat, add about 2 tablespoons of oil and swirl to fully coat the bottom of the pan. Heat until oil begins to shimmer but not smoking.
- Add tofu in a single layer and cook until it begins to crisp, then turn to brown to other side. Remove from pan and drain on paper towels.
- Alternatively, in deep, wide pan, heat about 2-inches deep of oil until very hot but not smoking. Add tofu in batches and cook, turning as needed, until golden and crisp. With a slotted spoon, remove from pan and drain on paper towels. Set aside.
- In a skillet over medium heat, heat about 1 tablespoon of oil. Add onions and garlic and cook until softened.
- Add pork and cook, stirring regularly, until lightly browned.
- Add tomatoes and cook, mashing with the back of a spoon, until softened and release juices.
- Add reserved liquid and bring to a boil.
- Add tausi. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Add fried tofu and briefly toss until just coated with sauce. Serve hot.
Notes
- Cut the pork in uniform size to ensure even cooking.
- Wait until the tofu begins to brown before turning, or it will stick to the pan and fall apart.
- Very briefly, toss the tofu in the mixture just until coated with sauce to maintain texture.
