Ingredients
 
 

Jackfruit And Marinade

  • 1 can of shredded jackfruit
  • 2 tablespoons tamari sauce *or soy sauce
  • ½ tablespoon Sriracha or other chili sauce
  • 2 tablespoons plus 1 teaspoon, divided vegetable oil
  • ¼ cup cornstarch *or tapioca starch

Chinese Stir Fry Sauce

  • 3 tablespoons tamari sauce (for gluten free) *or soy sauce
  • 3 tablespoons agave nectar *or maple syrup
  • 2 tablespoons rice wine vinegar
  • ½ tablespoon sriracha sauce *or more, if you prefer spicy
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch

Chinese Stir Fry Vegetables

  • ½ red bell pepper sliced
  • 10 snow peas
  • ¾ cup beansprouts
  • 1 carrot julienned, or thinly sliced

Instructions
 

  • Drain the jackfruit and squeeze out most of the liquid. Put it in a bowl and shred it with a fork. *see note 1. Add the soy sauce, sriracha sauce and vegetable oil, and mix well ensuring the jackfruit is evenly coated in the marinade.
  • Add the cornstarch to the bowl, and toss the jackfruit to coat it.
  • Heat 2 tablespoons of sunflower oil in a wok or saute pan. Add the jackfruit and saute for 2 minutes, or until crispy. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the crispy jackfruit to a plate with a paper towel. Wipe out the wok or saute pan.
  • In a small bowl, stir together the stir fry sauce ingredients.
  • Add it to the saute pan and bring to simmer over low heat for 2 minutes, or until the sauce thickens.
  • Add the vegetables to the sauce and stir fry for 30 seconds. Don't overcook the vegetables. Add the jackfruit and stir to coat it in the sauce.
  • Serve with rice. Garnish with sesame seeds and chopped scallions.

Notes

  1. To shred jackfruit, place two forks, with their backs facing each other, in a portion of the jackfruit. Pull the forks in opposite directions, breaking up the jackfruit as you pull. 
  2. Please note, the nutritional calculations do not include rice.
