Sauce
Instructions
Cook the jackfruit
Step 1
Whisk the sauce ingredients together in a bowl. Add in the drained jackfruit and mix so that the sauce spreads throughout the jackfruit pieces. Leave to marinate while preparing the other elements.
Cook the rice
Step 2
After rinsing rice, put in a saucepan along with the water and bring to a boil. Cook until water has been absorbed by the rice.
Cook the jackfruit and veggies
Step 3
Add oil to a medium-hot frying pan. Add in the garlic and ginger to fry for 30 seconds, then add in the onions. Fry for 2-3 mins.
Step 4
Add the carrot, along with the jackfruit and its sauce, cooking for a 3-4 mins before adding in the peas.
Step 5
Place cooked rice into a square-shaped container, then make a large hole in the top of the rice.
Step 6
Once the frying pan has finished cooking, with all the veggies now tender and the sauce thickened, add a few spoonful's to fill the hole you've made on the top of the rice.
Step 7
Flip container contents onto a plate (with rice on top, completely covering jackfruit contents inside). Garnish with some coriander leaves and chilli, if desired.
Note
Step 8
A trick to the rice to plate procedure is to place the plate on top of the container, flipping over then removing the container.
