Ingredients
- 4 cups Cooked rice (day-old)
- 1 cup Vegan shredded jackfruit
- 1 tablespoon Soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon Sugar
- 1/2 cup Vegetable oil
- 1/4 cup Scallions
Original measure retained: its cup/spoon or fluid-volume standard is unspecified.
Instructions
- 1Press the 4 cups of cooked rice firmly into a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Place the baking sheet in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours to allow the rice to firm up.
- 2Once the rice is firm, use a knife to cut it into about 5 cm squares. Set these rice squares aside.
- 3In a small bowl, combine the 1 cup of vegan shredded jackfruit with the 1 tablespoon of soy sauce and the 1 teaspoon of sugar. Mix well to ensure the jackfruit is evenly seasoned.
- 4Pour the 1/2 cup of vegetable oil into an approximately 25 cm skillet and heat it over medium-high heat until it reaches 177°C.
- 5Carefully place the rice squares into the hot oil, ensuring not to overcrowd the skillet. Fry the rice squares for 3-5 minutes per side, or until they are golden brown and crispy. You should hear a gentle sizzling sound.
- 6Using a slotted spoon or tongs, remove the crispy rice squares from the skillet and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
- 7Arrange the drained crispy rice squares on a serving platter. Top each square with a portion of the seasoned vegan jackfruit. Finally, sprinkle the 1/4 cup of chopped scallions over the top.
- 8Serve the Cơm Cháy Chà Bông immediately while the rice is still warm and crispy.
