Vegan Jackfruit Bao Buns




Prep time: 10 minutes
Cook time: 15-20 minutes
Makes: 6 bao buns
Ingredients:
6x Frozen Bao Buns
1x 280g can of Jackfruit
2 large garlic cloves, minced
1 Carrot, julienned
1 Cucumber, julienned
1 Red Chilli, sliced
1/4 cup of packed coriander
3-4 Tbsp of Hoisin Sauce
Optional Garnish
Fried Onion
Crushed Peanuts
Directions:
Strain and wash jackfruit and set aside.
Prepare the fresh ingredients. Chop cucumber, carrots, chilli and coriander.
Mince garlic and then heat a non stick pan with 1 tbsp of coconut oil over medium-high heat.
Once the pan is hot, add the jackfruit. Allow them to slightly brown on both sides. Next add in garlic.
Using a flat wooden spoon, press down on each chunk of jackfruit until it separates forming a “pulled pork” texture. Once you have done this to each piece, add in hoisin sauce and cook for another 5 minutes.
Meanwhile, Steam your Bao buns according to the packet instructions.
Assemble your Bag by adding all ingredients gently to each bun. Garnish with fried onion, crushed peanuts and extra hoisin sauce. ENJOY!
