Vegan Jackfruit Stir Fry

Sure, I'd be happy to help you learn about Vegan Jackfruit Stir Fry!

Jackfruit is a type of fruit that is native to South and Southeast Asia. It has a unique texture and flavor that makes it a popular meat substitute in vegan and vegetarian cuisine. When jackfruit is cooked and shredded, it resembles the texture of pulled pork, making it a great option for dishes like stir fry.

To make Vegan Jackfruit Stir Fry, you will need young green jackfruit in water or brine, not in syrup. You can find canned or packaged jackfruit in many grocery stores or online. To prepare the jackfruit, drain and rinse it well, then cut it into small pieces and remove the core.

For the stir fry, you will need:

First, heat the vegetable oil in a large pan or wok over medium-high heat. Add the onion, garlic, and ginger, and cook for 2-3 minutes until the onion is translucent. Add the jackfruit, bell pepper, carrots, and snap peas, and cook for another 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are tender.

In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, hoisin sauce, cornstarch, and water. Pour the sauce over the jackfruit and vegetables, and stir well to combine. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until the sauce has thickened. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Serve the Vegan Jackfruit Stir Fry over rice or noodles, and garnish with chopped green onions, sesame seeds, or crushed red pepper flakes if desired. Enjoy!
