Instructions

  1. Using your fingers, shred the jackfruit and remove any tough pieces.
  2. In a large pan over medium-high heat, heat the oil. Once heated, add the onion and bell pepper and saute until they become tender, about 3 to 4 minutes.
  3. Add in the jackfruit and cook for 8 to 10 minutes, adding the BBQ sauce halfway through.
  4. Serve ¼ of the prepared jackfruit onto each bun half or bread slice topped with the red cabbage and another slice of bread or bun.

Notes

  • Use the right jackfruit: Use young green jackfruit in water (or brine if rinsed thoroughly) for the correct flavor/texture. Ripe jackfruit or jackfruit in syrup will be too sweet.  
  • For crispier jackfruit: Let it cook undisturbed for a while to sear. Alternatively, spread the cooked BBQ jackfruit across a pan and bake at 400F/200C for 15-20 minutes.
  • Make it in advance: This vegan pulled pork will taste even better on day two once the flavors have a chance to meld.
