Tofu haha well, I guess for people not familiar with the it, tofu would come to.mind. In fact, there is a tofu sisig. The one I'm fond of eating though is pork sisig (there is also chicken sisig that I like), but I'm extremely picky with what I eat. If I tell you what's in it, (or, if you research it off the internet) you probably would say "Ahh do you eat those kind of stuff?" lol. To be honest, I used to not eat sisig until I turned 19 to 20? I thought it was "eww (gross), I'm never gonna try that" but I guess, when I started drinking with college friends and had the chance to finally taste it, I was like "Omg, this is so good. Why did I only try this now?". I questioned myself lol. It's hard to describe the taste. You're actually gonna make me crave for this again lol (I'm having migraine so I need to ignore this food for now). But it tastes more like grilled pork that's been cut to pieces if anything. Some people put fried egg or mayonaisse on it. I just like mine plain. I used to take out most of the onions, or I'd only try to take out the big ones lol.
No problem on the recipe. I do always cook the rice using brown rice a day or two ahead and make it in a rice cooker. Soak and rinse the rice a couple of times to cut the starch and cook it in a rice cooker with a one cup rice to one and a quarter cup of beef stock instead of water and a bit of lemon juice, a little more flavor and I like the darker color plus it seems to make the rice less sticky and with each grain more separate and firmer. The beef is normally just sliced up sirloin or whatever cut you prefer and as noticed I love a bit of the scrambled egg and tons of green onion. 
Today it was a patty melt and onion rings and a slice of chocolate creme pie as a treat for dessert.

Now, your 18 year old son is curious lol. Oh, I love bacon, but have not tasted a homemade bacon yet, I think. I guess, if you have the time and patience to prepare that, you can do sisig lol.As long you can get those specific parts/ ingredients there, and you're okay with the grilling part, you're good to go. My late partner used to make them, though it is not really an actual sisig, but maybe just something that looks and tastes like one (I love it though, regardless) because people here aren't fond of grilling stuff, and it's also not safe/good for her health (that time). The one I ordered last week is the real one. My daughter who's also very picky with food, loves eating them when they were still here. She can finish a whole serving good for 2-3 people (like me). Also, I'm not sure if you have "chicharon" there lol. I looked it up and it says "pork rinds". They are crispy/crunchy like crackers? It's one of those stuff you put on a sisig, although, I think you can probably do without them.

Oh, it's nice to hear that. It's been a while since eaten an actual chicharon (not included in a dish) and I'm kinda craving for one. All these things I've been eating and craving for were the ones that remind me of my "family" that aren't here now. I used to ignore or even hate eating some of them in the earlier days/months, now I'm like "What the heck. I enjoy them". 😄
To be honest, I'm sort of like that too, but there are a few dish that I got used to eating that I try to just not mind what they are made of lol. I'm picky with food in a sense that I don't have much variety (and unfortunately not fond of those that are healthy like veggies, etc.) though I guess, I'm not the one to really abuse certain foods, so the reason why I'm still here lol.
As soon as I think what they are made from, I am done. lol No need to apologize, I am glad you asked
