Method: (Best made a day ahead to marinade the jackfruit):
-
Drain both jackfruit tins. Roughly break up the jackfruit pieces with your hands and set aside.
-
Heat up toasted sesame oil in a medium pan. Fry spring onions until softened. Add garlic and ginger and fry off gently until soft and fragrant.
-
Add five spice mix and fry it off gently, stirring the whole time, for a minute or so.
-
Now add in the prepared jackfruit along with your Soy sauce or Tamari, Hoisin, sauce Toasted sesame oil, Remedy Cherry Plumb Kombucha and Eaten Alive Cacao & Lime sauce
-
Mix everything really well. Squash the jackfruit pieces with your mixing spoon so that the individual fibres separate more.
-
Simmer the mixture gently for another 5-10 minutes and then allow it to cool down. Place in the fridge overnight to intensify the flavour.
-
Just before you are ready to assemble your pancakes, set the oven to 200° C. Spread the jackfruit pieces on a baking sheet lined tray and bake for approx 20-25 minutes, until a little caramelised and browned around the edges.
To Serve:
-
Warm up your pancakes in a steamer.
-
Dollop a bit of Cacao & Lime/Hoisin sauce on the inside of each pancake, followed by jackfruit ‘duck’, cucumber, spring onions and sesame seeds
