Notes
- For a milder, kid-friendly version, omit the chili sauce from the sauce mixture.
- Marinate the jackfruit in the sauce for several hours or overnight to intensify the flavor before cooking.
- You can serve the filling already placed in the lettuce cups or present it separately to let guests assemble their own lettuce cups with toppings.
