Young Jackfruit In Coconut Milk Recipe

Young Jackfruit In Coconut Milk

From mommylotte 14 years ago

This dish is commonly called Langka sa Gata in the Philippines. A delicious dish that makes you eat more rice :) Enjoy!

1/2 kilo or 2 cans of Young Jackfruit ( I used Aroy-D brand labeled Young Green Jackfruit in can ) shopping list
3 pcs Laurel/bay leaves shopping list
1 onion (chopped) shopping list
1 tbsp minced garlic shopping list
a thumbsized ginger (sliced thinly) shopping list
1/2 cup Small dried shrimps (the red ones) shopping list
2 cups coconut milk or 2 Cans shopping list
1 carrot (sliced) shopping list
a bunch of spinach shopping list
salt shopping list
pepper shopping list

If using fresh young jackfruit, boil them first. I always use canned ones for easier cooking. Canned jackfruits are pre-cooked, makes cooking time shorter.
Saute garlic, ginger and onion.
Add Laurel.Bay leaves and small dried shrimps.
Stir until aromatic.
Add in the young jackfruit (boiled if fresh) (if using canned, chopped into bite-sized pieces,no need to boil them).
Pour in the coconut milk.Boil for 3 minutes.
Add the carrots.
Simmer for 5 minutes.
Season with salt and pepper.
Throw in spinach.
Turn off heat.
Serve hot with rice.

So you can cook those suckers. Kids around here eat them raw all the time. Nope, none in cans here but heaps on the trees around. Can I use real Peepee? Thanks. You have a very interesting flavor balance here. I'll have to eat a raw Jackfruit to see how that's going to work. Thanks for the post. RJ
