Ingredients
 

Jackfruit

  • 1 Tbsp neutral oil I used olive oil
  • 1 20 ounce can green jackfruit in brine

General Tso’s Sauce

Garnishes

Instructions

  • 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.
