Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Start by preparing the jackfruit. Using your hands or a fork, shred the jackfruit chunks into a pulled pork-like texture, discarding any tough core pieces.

  2. In a large pan or skillet, heat a bit of oil over medium heat. Add the sliced onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes.

  3. Add the minced garlic and grated ginger to the pan, stirring constantly for another minute until fragrant.

  4. Add the shredded jackfruit to the pan and cook for 5-7 minutes, allowing it to brown slightly.

  5. In a separate bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, brown sugar, rice vinegar, sesame oil, gochujang, black pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using) to create the BBQ sauce.

  6. Pour the BBQ sauce over the jackfruit in the pan, stirring well to coat the jackfruit evenly.

  7. Lower the heat and simmer for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce has thickened and the flavors have melded together.

  8. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed, adding more soy sauce or sugar to balance the flavors.

  9. Serve the Korean BBQ jackfruit over steamed white rice, garnished with sliced green onions and toasted sesame seeds for a pop of freshness and crunch.
