Drain, rise, and pat jackfruit dry. Using your hands or a fork, shred the jackfruit chunks into bite sized pieces. It should resemble a “pulled pork” texture.
Heat a pan over medium heat. Add the oil, jackfruit, and cook for 3-4 minutes until warm.
In a medium bowl combine all of the General Tso’s sauce ingredients together and whisk.
Add the sauce to the pan and mix until the jackfruit is covered in sauce. Gently simmer on medium-low heat for 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce starts to thicken. Take the pan immediately off the heat. If left on the heat the sauce will burn.
Taste the jackfruit and add additional soy sauce or crushed red pepper. Divide into bowls and garnish with sesame seeds and green onions!
Leftover jackfruit can be kept in the refrigerator in an airtight container for 2 days.
Notes
Make it your own
Garnish your jackfruit with chopped green onion or crushed red pepper.
I paired my jackfruit with rice and steamed broccoli. However, you can get creative and use whatever grains or vegetable you have in your pantry or refrigerator.
Want your sauce to be thicker? Add an extra half teaspoon of cornstarch to the sauce.
