    You are vegan and never heard of jackfruit. Is that even possible? Then you are going to be amazed, my friend. Jackfruit is a fruit (daaah) that grows in tropical areas of southeast Asia, Brazil, and Africa. What´s so special about jackfruit is while it´s a fruit, its consistency is similar to pork, and has a fairly neutral taste when young and takes on the flavor of anything it´s cooked with.

    That means combining jackfruit with seasoning and texture similar to pulled pork, it can be a great meat substitute.

    In this recipe, I was aiming for more Thai flavors, combining jackfruit with lemongrass, coconut milk, and red curry paste.

        Depends on where you live. I guess in any grocery store. 🙂
        But you can use other cooking oils, like coconut, olive, canola.
