Every Filipino has his/her own version of adobo. My dad cooks his adobo with tofu and oyster sauce. He uses fried firm tofu but I like to use puff tofu instead. The challenge of using puff tofu is that it absorbs most of the sauce. If you want to have more sauce in your adobo, make sure you have plenty of liquid before you add the tofu.
